Concept explainers
Using values from the table of standard reduction potentials, calculate the cell potentials of the following cells.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(a)
To determine:
The cell potential of the cell.
Explanation of Solution
The electrode potentials of the cell are given as:
Since
Hence,E0cell =
Since,the concentration of the solutions is not given, it is taken as 1 molar
So, in Nernst equation
i.e.
(b)
To determine:
The cell potential of the cell.
Explanation of Solution
The electrode potentials of the cell are given as:
Since,
Hence,
(c)
To determine:
The cell potential of the cell.
Explanation of Solution
The electrode potentials of the cell are given as:
Since
Hence,
