Given the following cell at `25^(@)C` What will be the potential of the cell ? Given `pK_(a) ` of `CH_(3)COOH=4.74`A. `-0.42V`B. `0.42V`C. `-0.19V`D. `0.19V`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
It is a concentration cell, therefore, `E^(c-)._(cell)=0`
`pH of W_(A)=(1)/(2)(pK_(a)-log c)`
`=(1)/(2)(4.74-log 10^(-3))=3.87`
`pH of NaOH=14-3=11`
`:. E=-0.059(pH_(c)-pH_(a))`
`=-0.059(11-3.87)=-0.42V`
