Question

For the following electrochemical cell at 298 K,
Pt(s)|H2(g,1bar)||(H+(aq.1M)||M4+(aq),M2+(aq))|Pt(s)
Ecell=0.092 V when[M2+(aq)][M4+(aq)]=10x
Given:E0M4/M2+=0.151 V; 2.303RTF=0.059 V
Then value of x is :

Solution

The correct option is A 2
At Anode:H2(s)2H++2e
At cathodeode:M4++2eMn2+Adding both the reactionsM4++H2Mn2++2H+
According to Nernst equation,
E=E00.059nlog10([Mn2+][H+]2[Mn4+]PH2)
0.092=0.1510.0592log10(10x)
0.092=0.1510.0592x
x=2
