Write the Nernst equation for following cell :
`Sn(s) |Sn^(2+) ||H^+|H_2 (g) (1 "bar" )| Pt (s) `

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The cell reaction is
`Sn +2H^+ to Sn^(2+) +H_2`
` n=2`
` E_("cell") =E_("cell")^@ +(2.303 RT ) /( nF ) log ([H^+]^2)/([Sn^(2+)])`
`or E_("cell ") =E_("cell ")^(@) +(0.591 )/(n ) log ([H^+ ]^2)/((Sn^(2+))`
