Question

Calculate emf of a cell Ag(s) /Ag+(1M) /Mg+2(1M) / Mg(s) and also predict the spontaneity of cell reaction.EAg+/Ag0=+0.8V;  EMg+2/Mgo=2.37V

Moderate
Solution

LHE ….Anode

RHE ….Cathode

Both the values given are SRP values

Ecello=Eca thodeoEanodeo

            = (–2.37V)–(+0.8V)

           = –3.17V

Ecell0 is negative, the cell reaction is non-spontaneous
