Metal rod A is dipped in 0.1 M solution of ASO_(4). The salt is 95% dissociated at this dilution at 298 K. Calculate the electrode potential (E_(A^(2+)//A)^(@) = -0.76 V)

Answer»

SOLUTION :Salt is 95% ionised `[A^(2+)] = 95/100 xx 0.1 = 0.095 M`
The ELECTRODE reaction is `A^(2+) + 2e^(-) to A(s)`
Applying Nernst equation
`E_(A^(2+)//A) = E_(A^(2+)//A)^(@) - (0.0591)/ n LOG 1/[A^(2+)]`
`=-0.76 V - (0.0591)/2 log 1/(0.095)`
`=-0.76V - 0.0295 [log 1000 - log 95]`
`=-0.79021` V
