I2(s)/I-(0.1 M) half cell is connected to aH+(aq)/H2(1 bar)/Pt half cell and e.m.f. is found to be 0.7714 V. IfEI2/I-o=0.535V, find the pH ofH+/H2half cell.

Answer:
3.00
Solution:

The cell reaction is
H2(g)+I2(s)2H(aq)++2I(aq)-
Heren=2(n = number of electons involved )
E=E°-0.0591nlog[H+]2[I-]2PH2
0.7714=0.535-0.05912log[H+]2[0.1]21
On solving(H+)=10-3
pH=-log(H+)=-log(10-3)
SopH=3
