- Find concentrations after electrolysis
We have two electrolytic cells.
(a)
Initial moles of :
Reaction at cathode:
Given charge passed Faraday mol . So moles of reduced:
Remaining moles of :
Since volume is , final concentration:
(b)
Initial moles of :
Reaction:
Given charge passed Faraday mol . Therefore moles of reduced:
Remaining moles of :
Thus final concentration:
- Construct the electrochemical cell
Standard reduction potentials:
Since silver has higher reduction potential, it acts as cathode.
Cell reaction:
So,
- Apply Nernst equation
For the reaction we have and
Using final concentrations:
Nernst equation at :
Using the given approximation , so
Hence for ,
Therefore,
- Comparison with stored answer
Derived answer: . Stored correct answer: .
They match.
