A concentration cell Pt|H_2(g)|HCl(aq)||H_2SO_(4)(aq)|H_2(g)|Pt is constructed using equal concentration of acids and equal number of moles of H_2 gas in both the compartments at the same temperature.If volume of H_2 gas at the anodic compartment is 1/9 times the volume of H_2 gas at cathodic compartment Which of the following is/are correct for the given cell (log 2=0.3, log 3=0.48)(2.303 RT)/F=0.06 V |

Answer» Pressure of `H_2` gas in both the cell compartment are equal Anodic reaction `1/2 H_2 toH^+ +e` Cathodic reaction `H^+ +e to 1/2 H^2` `underset(("anode"))(1/2H_2)+underset(("cathode"))(H^+)tounderset(("cathode"))(1/2H_2)+underset(("anode"))(H^+)` `E_(cell)^@=0` `E_(cell)=E_(cell)^@-0.06/1"log"(sqrt((P_(H_2))_("cathode"))xx[H^+]_("anode"))/(sqrt((P_(H_2))_("anode"))xx[H^+]_("cathode"))` `E_(cell)=-0.06 "log"(sqrt1/9xxC/(2C))=-0.06 "log" 1/(2xx3)=0.06 ("log" 2+ log 3)=0.06(0.3+0.48)=0.0468` volt |
