Explanation:

Energy makes molecules in the air move faster and expand, decreasing density. The opposite is true for cold air. Molecules are closer together, and absorb less energy.

What is the calculated value of the cell potential at 298K for an

Tpy6a [65]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

What is the calculated value of the cell potential at 298 K for an electrochemical cell with the following reaction, when the H₂ pressure is 6.56 x 10⁻² atm, the H⁺ concentration is 1.39 M, and the Sn²⁺ concentration is 9.35 x 10⁻⁴ M?

$2H^+(aq)+Sn(s)\rightarrow H_2(g)+Sn^{2+}(aq)$

Answer: The cell potential of the given electrochemical cell is 0.273 V

Explanation:

For the given chemical equation:

$2H^+(aq)+Sn(s)\rightarrow H_2(g)+Sn^{2+}(aq)$

The half cell reactions for the given equation follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Sn(s)\rightarrow Sn^{2+}(aq)+2e^-;E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.14V$

Reduction half reaction: $H_2+2e^-\rightarrow H_2(g);E^o_{2H^{+}/H_2}=0.0V$

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=0.0-(-0.14)=0.14V$

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Sn^{2+}]\times p_{H_2}}{[H^+]^2}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = ?

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.14 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

$[H^{+}]=1.39M$

$[Sn^{2+}]=9.35\times 10^{-4}M$

$p_{H_2}=6.56\times 10^{-2}atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0.14-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{(9.35\times 10^{-4})\times (6.56\times 10^{-2})}{(1.39)^2})\\\\E_{cell}=0.273V$

Hence, the cell potential of the given electrochemical cell is 0.273 V
