For the cell Cu(s)Cu2+(aq)(0.1M)Ag+(aq)(0.01M)Ag(s) the cell potential E1=0.3095 V. For the cell Cu(s)Cu2+(aq)(0.01M)Ag+(aq)(0.001M)Ag(s) the cell potential =x×10-2 V. Find value of x (Round off the Nearest Integer).

[ Use :2.303RTF=0.059 J ]

Answer:
28
Solution:

Cell reaction is :

Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq)Cu2+(aq)+2Ag(s)

Now, Ecell=ECello-0.0592logCu2+Ag+2 

E1=0.3095=ECello-0.0592·log0.1(0.01)2 .......1

E2=ECello-0.0592·log0.01(0.001)2..........(2)

 

From (1) and (2),E2=0.28 V=28×10-2 V
