For the electrochemical cell, Mg(s) Mg 2+ aq,1M Cu 2+ aq,1M 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+ =1M
E cell = E cell o RT nF ln
2.67=2.70 RT 2F lnx
0.03= R×300 2F ×lnx
lnx= 0.03×2 300 × F R
0.03×2×11500 300×1
lnx=2.30=ln 10
x=10
