The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the pH of the solution given the cell and its EMF. Let's break down the steps to find the solution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of the Cell**: The cell is given as: \[ \text{Pt} | \text{H}_2(g, 1 \text{ bar}) | \text{H}^+(aq), pH = x || \text{Cl}^-(1M) | \text{Hg}_2\text{Cl}_2 | \text{Hg} | \text{Pt} \] Here, the left side is the hydrogen electrode and the right side is the calomel electrode. 2. **Given Data**: - EMF of the cell, \( E_{\text{cell}} = 0.5755 \, \text{V} \) - Standard oxidation potential of the calomel electrode, \( E^{\circ}_{\text{calomel}} = -0.28 \, \text{V} \) 3. **Calculate the Standard Electrode Potential of the Hydrogen Electrode**: The EMF of the cell can be expressed as: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{H}_2} - E^{\circ}_{\text{calomel}} \] Rearranging gives: \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{H}_2} = E_{\text{cell}} + E^{\circ}_{\text{calomel}} \] Substituting the values: \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{H}_2} = 0.5755 \, \text{V} + 0.28 \, \text{V} = 0.8555 \, \text{V} \] 4. **Apply the Nernst Equation**: The Nernst equation for the hydrogen electrode is: \[ E = E^{\circ} - \frac{0.059}{n} \log \left( \frac{1}{[\text{H}^+]} \right) \] Here, \( n = 2 \) (for the reaction \( \text{H}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}^+ + 2e^- \)). Thus, the equation becomes: \[ E_{\text{H}_2} = E^{\circ}_{\text{H}_2} - \frac{0.059}{2} \log \left( \frac{1}{[\text{H}^+]} \right) \] 5. **Substituting Known Values**: We know \( E_{\text{H}_2} = 0.8555 \, \text{V} \) and \( E_{\text{cell}} = 0.5755 \, \text{V} \): \[ 0.5755 = 0.8555 - \frac{0.059}{2} \log \left( \frac{1}{[\text{H}^+]} \right) \] 6. **Rearranging to Find \([\text{H}^+]\)**: Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{0.059}{2} \log \left( \frac{1}{[\text{H}^+]} \right) = 0.8555 - 0.5755 \] \[ \frac{0.059}{2} \log \left( \frac{1}{[\text{H}^+]} \right) = 0.28 \] \[ \log \left( \frac{1}{[\text{H}^+]} \right) = \frac{0.28 \times 2}{0.059} \] \[ \log \left( \frac{1}{[\text{H}^+]} \right) = 9.49 \] Therefore, \[ [\text{H}^+] = 10^{-9.49} \approx 3.24 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{M} \] 7. **Calculating pH**: The pH is calculated as: \[ \text{pH} = -\log [\text{H}^+] = -\log (3.24 \times 10^{-10}) \approx 9.49 \] ### Conclusion: The calculated pH value does not match any of the provided options. Therefore, the answer is: **(d) None of these**
