Question

The emf of a cell Ni(s) | Ni²⁺(0.001 M) || Ag⁺(0.002 M) | Ag(s) at 298 K is (Given: E°Ni²⁺/Ni = -0.25 V , E°Ag⁺/Ag = 0.80 V )?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

E°cell = 0.80 - (-0.25) = 1.05 V . Ecell = E°cell - (0.059/2) log ([Ni²⁺]/[Ag⁺]²) = 1.05 - (0.059/2) log (0.001/(0.002)²) = 0.989 V .
