Solution
The correct option is AFe|FeO(s)|KOH(aq)|NiO(s)|Ni2O3(s)|Ni EMF of cell, Fe|FeO(s)|KOH(aq)|NiO(s)|Ni2O3(s)|Ni Anode: Fe(s)+2OH−→FeO(s)+H2O(l)+2e Cathode: Ni2O3(s)+H2O(l)+2e→2NiO(s)+2OH−
So according to Nernst equation, emf of cell is Ecell=EoOPFe/FeO−0.0592log10[H2O][oH−]2+EoRPNi2O3/NiO+0.0592log10[H2O][OH−]2 Ecell=EoOPFe/FeO+EoRPNi2O3/NiO which is independent of conc. of ions in solution.
