For the following cell with hydrogen electrodes at two different pressure p1 and p2. What will be the emf for the given cell :
- A
- B
- C
- Dnone of these
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Write the electrode reaction for a hydrogen electrode
For the half-cell,
Its electrode potential by Nernst equation is
Since both solutions are , we have , so
For hydrogen electrode, , hence
- Write potentials of the two electrodes
For left electrode at pressure ,
For right electrode at pressure ,
- Calculate cell emf
By convention,
So,
- Match with the options
This corresponds to
So the correct option is B.
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: B
Derived answer: B
They match.
