Write Nernst equation and calculate emf ...

Write Nernst equation and calculate emf for the following cell:
`Zn|Zn^(2+)(0*01M)||Ag^(+)(0*01M)|Ag`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Zn//Zn^(2+)(0*1M)||Ag^(+)(0*01M)|Ag`
The reaction involved are,
Oxidation: `Zn(s)toZn^(2+)(aq)+Ze^(-)`
Reduction: `Cu^(2+)(aq)+2e^(-) to Cu(s)`
Overall: `Cu^(2+)(aq)+Zn(s) to Cu(s)+Zn^(2+)(aq)`
Nernst equator for the cell is,
`EMF=EMF^(@)-(2*303RT)/(nF)logQC`
`=EMF^(@)(0*0591V)/(2)"log"([Zn^(2+)])/([Cu^(2+)])` at 298 K
