The correct Answer is:
To find the cell potential for the second cell given, we will use the Nernst equation. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Nernst Equation The Nernst equation relates the cell potential under non-standard conditions to the standard cell potential and the concentrations of the reactants and products: \[ E = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \left( \frac{[\text{products}]}{[\text{reactants}]} \right) \] where: - \(E\) is the cell potential, - \(E^\circ\) is the standard cell potential, - \(n\) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction. ### Step 2: Identify the Components of the Cell For the first cell: \[ \text{Cu (s)} | \text{Cu}^{2+} (aq) (0.1 M) || \text{Ag}^{+} (aq) (0.01 M) | \text{Ag (s)} \] - Anode reaction: \( \text{Cu} \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \) - Cathode reaction: \( \text{Ag}^{+} + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ag} \) From the first cell, we know \(E_1 = 0.3095 \, V\). ### Step 3: Calculate the Standard Cell Potential \(E^\circ\) Using the Nernst equation for the first cell: \[ E_1 = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \left( \frac{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]}{[\text{Ag}^{+}]^2} \right) \] Substituting the known values: \[ 0.3095 = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \left( \frac{0.1}{(0.01)^2} \right) \] Calculating the logarithm: \[ \log \left( \frac{0.1}{(0.01)^2} \right) = \log \left( \frac{0.1}{0.0001} \right) = \log(1000) = 3 \] Now substituting this back: \[ 0.3095 = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{2} \cdot 3 \] \[ 0.3095 = E^\circ - 0.08865 \] \[ E^\circ = 0.3095 + 0.08865 = 0.39815 \, V \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Cell Potential for the Second Cell For the second cell: \[ \text{Cu (s)} | \text{Cu}^{2+} (aq) (0.01 M) || \text{Ag}^{+} (aq) (0.001 M) | \text{Ag (s)} \] Using the same Nernst equation: \[ E_2 = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \left( \frac{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]}{[\text{Ag}^{+}]^2} \right) \] Substituting the values: \[ E_2 = 0.39815 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \left( \frac{0.01}{(0.001)^2} \right) \] Calculating the logarithm: \[ \log \left( \frac{0.01}{(0.001)^2} \right) = \log \left( \frac{0.01}{0.000001} \right) = \log(10000) = 4 \] Now substituting this back: \[ E_2 = 0.39815 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \cdot 4 \] \[ E_2 = 0.39815 - 0.1182 \] \[ E_2 = 0.27995 \, V \] ### Step 5: Convert to Required Format To express \(E_2\) in the form \(xx \times 10^{-2} V\): \[ E_2 = 27.995 \times 10^{-2} V \approx 28 \times 10^{-2} V \] ### Final Answer The cell potential for the second cell is: \[ \boxed{28} \]
