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^(+)toSn^(2+)+H_(2)`
n=2
`E_("cell")=E_("cell")^(@)+(2.303RT)/(nF)log""([H^(+)]^(2))/([Sn^(2+)])`
or `E_("cell")=E_("cell")^(@)+(0.0591)/(n)log""([H^(+)]^(2))/((Sn^(2+)))`
