What is the EMF of a ll with Fe(s) | Fe²⁺(0.01 M) || H⁺(1 M) | H₂(g, 1 bar) | Pt(s) at 298 K, given E_{Fe^{2+/Fe⁰ = -0.4

Given: What is the EMF of a ll with Fe(s) | Fe²⁺(0.01 M) || H⁺(1 M) | H₂(g, 1 bar) | Pt(s) at 298 K, given E_{Fe^{2+/Fe⁰ = -0.44 V and E_{H^{+/H_2⁰ = 0 V ? Formula: E_{ll⁰ = 0 - (-0.44) = 0.44 V, n = 2. Substitution & Calculation: E_{ll = E_{ll⁰ - 0.059/2 log frac[Fe^{2+][H^{+]² . Q = 0.01/1² = 0.01, log Q = -2 . E_{ll = 0.44 - 0.059/2 × (-2) = 0.44 + 0.059 = 0.499 V approx 0.50 V . Final Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per latest NCERT 2026-27.

For 2NO₂(g) N₂(g) + 2O₂(g), K_c = 0.25 at 600 K. If initial [NO₂] = 0.4 M, what is [O₂] at equilibrium?

Given: For 2NO₂(g) N₂(g) + 2O₂(g), K_c = 0.25 at 600 K. If initial [NO₂] = 0.4 M, what is [O₂] at equilibrium? Formula: Let [N₂] = x, [O₂] = 2x, [NO₂] = 0.4 - 2x. Substitution & Calculation: K_c = frac[N₂][O₂]²[NO₂]² = x (2x)²/(0.4 - 2x)² = 0.25 . 4x³/(0.4 - 2x)² = 0.25, solve: x approx 0.05, 2x = 0.1 M.
