Step-by-Step Verified Solution
To determine the electromotive force (EMF) of the given cell reaction at 298 K:
Reaction: Ni(s) + 2Ag + (0.001 M) _ Ni 2+ (0.001 M) + 2Ag(s)
Given data:
Standard cell potential, E� cell = 10.5 V
Value at 298 K, 2.303 R T F = 0.059
Using the Nernst equation to find the cell potential, E cell :
E c e l l = E c e l l o _ 0.059 n log _ [ Ni 2 + ] [ Ag + ] 2 E ce ll _ = E ce ll o _ _ n 0.059 _ lo g [ Ag + ] 2 [ Ni 2 + ] _
Where:
n = number of moles of electrons transferred = 2
[ Ni 2 + ] = 0.001 M [ Ni 2 + ] = 0.001 M
[ Ag + ] = 0.001 M [ Ag + ] = 0.001 M
Substituting the values:
E c e l l = 10.5 _ 0.059 2 log _ ( 10 _ 3 ) ( 10 _ 3 ) 2 E ce ll _ = 10.5 _ 2 0.059 _ lo g ( 1 0 _ 3 ) 2 ( 1 0 _ 3 ) _
= 10.5 _ 0.0295 2 log _ ( 10 3 ) = 10.5 _ 2 0.0295 _ lo g ( 1 0 3 )
= 10.5 _ 0.0295 _ 3 = 10.5 _ 0.0295 _ 3
= 10.5 _ 0.0885 = 10.5 _ 0.0885
= 10.4115 V = 10.4115 V
Therefore, the EMF of the cell is 10.4115 V.
