For the electrochemical cell, Mg(s) Mg 2+ aq,1 M Cu 2+ aq,1 M Cu  s the standard emf of the cell is 2.70 V at 300 K. When the concentration of Mg 2+ is changed to x M, the cell potential changes to 2.67 V at 300 K. The value of x is ________.

(given, F R =11500 K V −1 , where F is the Faraday constant and R is the gas constants, ln 10  = 2.30 )

Answer:
10.00
Solution:

Mg s  +  Cu 2+ aq → Mg 2+ aq  + Cu s
E cell o  = 2 .70, E cell  = 2 .67, Mg 2+  = xM,  Cu 2+  = 1 M
E cell  =  E cell o  −  RT nF ln x 
2.67 = 2.70 −  RT 2F ln x
−0.03 = −  R × 300 2F  × ln x
ln x =  0.03 × 2 300  ×  F R
=  0.03 × 2 × 11500 300 × 1
ln x = 2.30 = ln 10
x = 10
