The correct Answer is:
To calculate the e.m.f. (electromotive force) of the cell represented by the notation `Mg//Mg^(2+)(0.1 M)||Ag^(+)(1.0x10^(-3)M)//Ag`, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the standard reduction potentials We are given the standard reduction potentials: - \( E^\circ_{Mg^{2+}/Mg} = -2.37 \, V \) - \( E^\circ_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = +0.80 \, V \) ### Step 2: Calculate the standard cell potential \( E^\circ_{cell} \) The standard cell potential can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = E^\circ_{cathode} - E^\circ_{anode} \] In this case: - The cathode (where reduction occurs) is silver (Ag), so \( E^\circ_{cathode} = +0.80 \, V \). - The anode (where oxidation occurs) is magnesium (Mg), so \( E^\circ_{anode} = -2.37 \, V \). Thus, we have: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = 0.80 \, V - (-2.37 \, V) = 0.80 \, V + 2.37 \, V = 3.17 \, V \] ### Step 3: Determine the reaction quotient \( Q \) The reaction quotient \( Q \) is given by the concentrations of the products over the reactants, raised to the power of their coefficients in the balanced equation. For the cell reaction: \[ Mg + 2Ag^{+} \rightarrow Mg^{2+} + 2Ag \] The expression for \( Q \) is: \[ Q = \frac{[Mg^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2} \] Substituting the concentrations: - \( [Mg^{2+}] = 0.1 \, M \) - \( [Ag^{+}] = 1.0 \times 10^{-3} \, M \) Thus: \[ Q = \frac{0.1}{(1.0 \times 10^{-3})^2} = \frac{0.1}{1.0 \times 10^{-6}} = 1.0 \times 10^{5} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the cell potential under non-standard conditions Using the Nernst equation: \[ E_{cell} = E^\circ_{cell} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log(Q) \] where \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the balanced reaction. Here, \( n = 2 \). Now substituting the values: \[ E_{cell} = 3.17 \, V - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log(1.0 \times 10^{5}) \] Calculating \( \log(1.0 \times 10^{5}) = 5 \): \[ E_{cell} = 3.17 \, V - \frac{0.0591}{2} \times 5 \] \[ E_{cell} = 3.17 \, V - 0.0591 \times 2.5 \] \[ E_{cell} = 3.17 \, V - 0.14775 \, V \] \[ E_{cell} = 3.02225 \, V \approx 3.02 \, V \] ### Final Answer The e.m.f. of the cell is approximately **3.02 V**. ---
