Pt(s)H2( g)(1bar)H+(aq)(1M)M3+(aq),M+(aq)Pt(s)

The Ecell  for the given cell is 0.1115 V at 298 K

When M+(aq)M3+(aq)=10a

The value of a is ___________

Given : Eθ=M3+/M+0.2 V

2.303RTF=0.059 V

 

Answer:
3
Solution:

Overall cell reaction :-

H2( g)+M(aq)3+M(aq)++2H(aq)+

Using Nernst equation:
ECell =ECathode o-Eanode o-0.0592logM+×12M+31

0.1115=0.2-0.0592logM+M+3

3=logM+M+3

a=3
