In which of the following electrochemical cell, overall cell reaction is :
` HgO (s) + H_2 (g) rarr Hg E + H_2O(e )`.

A

`Pt | H_2 (g) | H^(+) (aq) |HgO(s) |Hg|Hg€ | Pt`

B

`Pt|H_2(g) |NaOH (aq) |HgO (s) |HgE |Pt`

C

`Pt | H_2(g) |H^(+) ||NaOH(aq)| HgO(s) |Hg € |Pt`

D

` Pt |H-2 (g) |H^(+) ||HgO(s) |Hg€ |Pt`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
` Pt | H_2 (g) | NaOH (aq) | HgO (s) | Hg (l) Pt1`
` LHE` reaction : ` H_2 (g) + 2 OH^(-) H_2O (l) _2e`
` rarr Hg (l) 2OH^(-)`
Net cell reaction : ` HgO (s) + H_2 (g) rarr Hg (l) +H_2 O`.
