Write the Nernst equation and calculate the e.m.f. of the following cells at 298 K.
(i) Mg (s) | Mg2+ (0.001 M) | | Cu2+ (0.001 M) | Cu (s)
(ii) Fe (s) | Fe2+ (0.001 M) | | H+ (1 M) | H2 (g) (1 bar) | Pt (s)
(iii) Sn (s) | Sn2+ (0.050 M) | | H+ (0.020 M) | H2 (g) (1 bar) | Pt (s)
(iv) Pt (s) | Br2 (l) | Br– (0.010 M) | | H+ (0.030 M) | H2 (g) (1 bar) | Pt (s)
Given EºMg2+/Mg = 2.37 V, EºCu2+/Cu = +0.34 V, EºFe2+ Fe = – 0.44 V, EºSn2+/Sn = – 0.14 V, Eº1/2 Br2/ Br– = + 1.08 V.
