Find the emf of the cell in which the following reaction takes place at 298 K
Ni(s) + 2Ag⁺(0.001M) → Ni²⁺(0.001M) + 2Ag(s)
(Given that E°cell = 1.05 V, 2.303RT/F = 0.059 at 298 K)
Find the emf of the cell in which the following reaction takes place at 298 K
Ni(s) + 2Ag⁺(0.001M) → Ni²⁺(0.001M) + 2Ag(s)
(Given that E°cell = 1.05 V, 2.303RT/F = 0.059 at 298 K)
Ecell = 1.05 - (0.059 / 2) log ( [Ni²? ] / [Ag? ]²)
= 1.05 - (0.059 / 2) log ( [10? ³] / [10? ³]²)
= 1.05 - (0.059 * 3) / 2 = 1.05 - 0.0885 = 0.9615 volt
There is a misprint in the question. The E? cell is incorrectly given as 10.5 V. This should have been 1.05 volt.

E_cell = E? _cell - (0.059/2)log { [Cu²? ]/ [Ag? ]²}
E? = E? _cell - (0.059/2)log [0.1/ (0.01)²] = 0.3095
E? _cell = 0.3095 + 0.0885 V
E? _cell = 0.398
Again, E? = E? _cell - (0.059/2)log [10? ²/ (10? ³)²]
E? = 0.398 - (0.059/2) x 4 V
E? = 0.28 V
E? = 28 x 10? ² V
