E^@ of zinc electrode is -0.762V. Calculate the single electrode potential of Zn electrode in decimolar ZnSO_4 solution.

Answer»

Solution :SIMPLIFIED Nernst equation for single electrode POTENTIAL,
`E=E^(@)+(0.059)/(2) log[ZN^(2+)]`
SUBSTITUTING the values in the expression for the single electrode potential of Zn.
`E = -0.762+0.0295log 10^(-1)`
`= - 0.7915V`.
