`E^@` of zinc electrode is `-0.762V`. Calculate the single electrode potential of Zn electrode in decimolar `ZnSO_4` solution.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Simplified Nernst equation for single electrode potential,
`E=E^(@)+(0.059)/(2) log[Zn^(2+)]`
Substituting the values in the expression for the single electrode potential of Zn.
`E = -0.762+0.0295log 10^(-1)`
`= - 0.7915V`.
