The correct Answer is:
To calculate the voltage \( E \) of the cell at \( 25^\circ C \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-cell reactions The half-cell reactions for the given cell are: 1. For copper: \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu} \quad (E^\circ = +0.34 \, \text{V}) \] 2. For manganese: \[ \text{Mn} \rightarrow \text{Mn}^{2+} + 2e^- \quad (E^\circ = -1.18 \, \text{V}) \] ### Step 2: Calculate the standard cell potential \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) The standard cell potential can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] Here, copper is the cathode and manganese is the anode: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{Cu}} - E^\circ_{\text{Mn}} = 0.34 \, \text{V} - (-1.18 \, \text{V}) = 0.34 \, \text{V} + 1.18 \, \text{V} = 1.52 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 3: Determine the concentration of \( \text{Mn}^{2+} \) Given the solubility product \( K_{sp} \) for \( \text{Mn(OH)}_2 \): \[ K_{sp} = [\text{Mn}^{2+}][\text{OH}^-]^2 \] Given \( K_{sp} = 1.9 \times 10^{-13} \) and \( [\text{OH}^-] = 1.00 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{M} \): \[ 1.9 \times 10^{-13} = [\text{Mn}^{2+}] \times (1.00 \times 10^{-4})^2 \] \[ 1.9 \times 10^{-13} = [\text{Mn}^{2+}] \times 1.00 \times 10^{-8} \] \[ [\text{Mn}^{2+}] = \frac{1.9 \times 10^{-13}}{1.00 \times 10^{-8}} = 1.9 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{M} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the reaction quotient \( Q \) The reaction quotient \( Q \) is given by: \[ Q = \frac{[\text{Mn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} \] Substituting the values: \[ Q = \frac{1.9 \times 10^{-5}}{0.675} \approx 2.81 \times 10^{-5} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Nernst equation The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E = E^\circ_{\text{cell}} - \frac{0.059}{n} \log Q \] Where \( n = 2 \) (number of electrons transferred): \[ E = 1.52 \, \text{V} - \frac{0.059}{2} \log(2.81 \times 10^{-5}) \] Calculating \( \log(2.81 \times 10^{-5}) \): \[ \log(2.81 \times 10^{-5}) \approx -4.55 \] Substituting this value back into the Nernst equation: \[ E = 1.52 \, \text{V} - \frac{0.059}{2} \times (-4.55) \] \[ E = 1.52 \, \text{V} + 0.059 \times 2.275 \approx 1.52 \, \text{V} + 0.134 \, \text{V} \approx 1.66 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the voltage \( E \) of the cell at \( 25^\circ C \) is approximately: \[ \boxed{1.66 \, \text{V}} \]

To calculate the voltage \( E \) of the cell at \( 25^\circ C \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-cell reactions The half-cell reactions for the given cell are: 1. For copper: \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu} \quad (E^\circ = +0.34 \, \text{V}) \] ...
