(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the solution with [BrO4-] = [Ce4+] =0.675 M ,[BrO3-] = [Ce3+] =0.600 M and pH =1 can be prepared at 298 K or not should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Nernst equation is represented as follows:
Z = number of moles of electrons transferred in the cell and Q is ratio of concentration of product to reactant.
The pH of solution can be calculated as follows:
