To calculate the electrode potential of a zinc rod dipped in a 0.1 M ZnSO₄ solution that is 95% dissociated at 298 K, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the concentration of Zn²⁺ ions The dissociation of ZnSO₄ can be represented as: \[ \text{ZnSO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} + \text{SO}_4^{2-} \] Given that the salt is 95% dissociated, we can calculate the concentration of Zn²⁺ ions: - Initial concentration of ZnSO₄ = 0.1 M ...
