Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To derive the expression for the electromotive force (emf) of the half-cell reaction \( H^+ + e^- \rightarrow H_2(g) \) at \( 25^\circ C \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Half-Cell Reaction The half-cell reaction involves the reduction of hydrogen ions (\( H^+ \)) to hydrogen gas (\( H_2 \)). The balanced half-reaction is: \[ H^+ + e^- \rightarrow H_2(g) \] ...
