Solution

The correct option is A Ecell=Eocell0.05912log1[H+]2[Br]2
Nernst equation is,
Ecell=E0cell0.0591nlogQ

Reactions involved are,
At anode:
2Br(1M)Br2(l)+2e
At cathode:
2H+(1M)+2eH2(1bar)

Net reaction is:
2Br(1M)+2H+(1M)Br2(l)+H2(1bar)

Nernst equation is,
Ecell=E0cell0.0591nlogQ
Here,

Nernst equation for the given cell,

Ecell=E0cell0.0591nlog1[Br]2][H+]2
