The potential the cell at `25^(@)C` is Given `pK_(b)` of `NH_(4)OH=4.74`A. `0.05V`B. `-0.05V`C. `-0.28V`D. `0.28V`

Answer» Correct Answer - b
It is a concentration cell, therefore, `E^(c-)cell=0`.
For weak base `NH_(4)OH`,
`pOH=(1)/(2)(4.74-log10^(-3))=3.87`
`:. pH=14-3.87=10.13`
For strong base `NaOH`,
`Poh=3,Ph=14-3=11`
`:. E_(cell)=-0.059(pH_(c)-pH_(a))`
`=-0.059(11-10.13)`
`=-0.059xx0.87`
`=-0.05V`
