Redox reaction Zn(s) + Cu2+ (0.1M) → Zn2+ (1M) + Cu(s) takes place in a cell with Eocell = 1.1V then what is Ecell for the cell at 298K? |
2.14 V 1.8 V 1.07 V 0.82 V |
1.07 V |
Ecell = Eocell - \(\frac{0.059}{2}\)log\(\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}\) Ecell = 1.1 - \(\frac{0.059}{2}\)log\(\frac{[1]}{[0.1]}\) Ecell = 1.1 - 0.0295 log10 [∴log10 = 1] Ecell = 1.1 - 0.0295 = 1.0705 V |
