Write Nernst equation for a metal and non metal eletrode.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For a metal electrode `M:M_(+n)(aq) +n e ^(-)toM(s)`
Nernest eq. is, `E_((m^(+n)//M))^(0)-(RT)/(nF) ln ""([M])/([M^(+n)])`
`impliesE_((m^(+n)//M))=E_((M^(+n)//M))^(0) -(0.059)/(n ) log ""(1)/([M^(+n)])" "[because[M[=1)`
For a non metal electrode `A:A + n e ^(-) to A ^(-n)`
Nernst eq. is, `E_((A//A^(-n)))=E_((A//A-n))^(0) -(RT)/(nF) ln ""([A^(-n)])/([A])`
`impliesE _((A//A ^(-n)))=E^(0) (A//A^(-n))-(0.059)/(n)log [A^(-n)]" "(because [A]=1)`
