The concentration of Iron in the galvanic (voltaic) cell Fe(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) ⟶ Fe²⁺(aq) + Mn(s) is 0.02297 M.
<h3>What is the Nernst Equation?</h3>
The Nernst equation enables us to identify the cell potential(voltage) in presence of non-standard conditions in a galvanic cell. It can be expressed by using the formula:
where;
n = Number of electrons = 2
= Initial voltage = 0.77 V
= Cell voltage = 0.78 V
= Manganese concentration = 0.050 M
Replacing the values into the above equation, we have:
