Question
In a test of a new reference electrode, a chemist constructs a voltaic cell consisting of a Zn/Zn2+ half-cell and an H2/H+ half-cell under the following conditions: [Zn2+ ] = 0.041 M [H+ ]= 1.2 M partial pressure of H2 = 0.52 atm. Calculate Ecell at 298 K (enter to 3 decimal places). Zn2+ (aq) + 2e Zn(s) E° = 0.76 V 2H+ (aq) + 2e H2(g) E° = 0.00 V
