What is the potential of the cell containing two hydrogen electrodes as represented below ?
`Pt | (1)/(2) H_(2) (g) | H^(+) (10^(-8)M) ||H^(+) (0.001M) | (1)/(2) H_(2) (g) | Pt`

A

`-0.295` V

B

`-0.0591` V

C

0.295

D

0.0591 V

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`E_(cell) = (0.0592)/(1) log ([H^(+)]_(RHS))/([H^(+)]_(LHS))`
` = 0.0592 log_(10) (10^(-3))/(10^(-8)) = 0.0592 xx 5 = 0.295` V
