The correct Answer is:
To calculate the EMF (Electromotive Force) of the given electrochemical cell at 25°C, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions**: - The oxidation half-reaction involves iron: \[ \text{Fe} \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{2+} + 2e^- \] - The reduction half-reaction involves hydrogen: \[ 2\text{H}^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{H}_2 \] 2. **Write the Overall Cell Reaction**: - Combining the two half-reactions gives: \[ \text{Fe} + 2\text{H}^+ \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{2+} + \text{H}_2 \] 3. **Calculate the Standard EMF (E°cell)**: - The standard reduction potentials are given: - \( E^\circ(\text{Fe}^{2+}/\text{Fe}) = -0.44 \, \text{V} \) - \( E^\circ(\text{H}^+/H_2) = 0.00 \, \text{V} \) - The standard EMF of the cell can be calculated using: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} = E^\circ(\text{H}^+/H_2) - E^\circ(\text{Fe}^{2+}/\text{Fe}) \] - Substituting the values: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.00 - (-0.44) = 0.44 \, \text{V} \] 4. **Use the Nernst Equation**: - The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cell}} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log Q \] - Where \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred (which is 2 in this case), and \( Q \) is the reaction quotient. 5. **Calculate the Reaction Quotient (Q)**: - The reaction quotient \( Q \) is given by: \[ Q = \frac{[\text{Fe}^{2+}]}{[\text{H}^+]^2 \cdot P_{\text{H}_2}} \] - Substituting the given concentrations: - \([\text{Fe}^{2+}] = 0.001 \, \text{M}\) - \([\text{H}^+] = 0.01 \, \text{M}\) - \(P_{\text{H}_2} = 1 \, \text{bar}\) - Therefore: \[ Q = \frac{0.001}{(0.01)^2 \cdot 1} = \frac{0.001}{0.0001} = 10 \] 6. **Substitute Values into the Nernst Equation**: - Now substituting into the Nernst equation: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = 0.44 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log(10) \] - Since \(\log(10) = 1\): \[ E_{\text{cell}} = 0.44 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \cdot 1 = 0.44 - 0.02955 = 0.41045 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer: The EMF of the cell at 25°C is approximately **0.41045 V**.

To calculate the EMF (Electromotive Force) of the given electrochemical cell at 25°C, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions**: - The oxidation half-reaction involves iron: \[ \text{Fe} \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{2+} + 2e^- ...
