Question

Find Ecell for the following cell
Mg(s)| Mg+2 (0.10 M)|| Ag+ (0.001 M)|Ag(s)
Given :     Eocell = 3.17 V
     = 0.06

Options

A.3.17 V
B.3.02 V
C.3.32 V
D.None of these

Solution

NCERT XII part 1 ; Page No. 71
Mg(s) → Mg+2 + 2e- (at anode)
2Ag+ + 2e- → 2Ag(s) (at cathode)
                                                         
Mg(s) + 2Ag+ → Mg+2 + 2Ag(s)
                                                         
Q = = 105
Ecell = Eocell - log10105
Ecell = 3.17 - × 5log1010 = 3.17 - 0.03 × 5
= 3.17 - 0.15
= 3.02 V
