Question
Question-1: Consider the cell, Zn(s)|ZnCl2(0.0020 mol kg)|Hg,Cl2(s)|Hg(l),
for which the cell reaction is Hg,Cl2(s) + Zn(s) → 2Hg(1) + 2CIF(aq) + Zn²*(aq).
Given that E°(Zn2+,Zn) = -0.7628 V, E°(Hg2Cl2,Hg) = +0.2676 V, and that the cell potential is
%3D
+1.2272 V.
(a) Write the Nernst equation for the cell.
(b) Determine the standard cell potential.
(c) Determine A,G, A,Gº, and K for the cell reaction.
(d) Determine the mean ionic activity and activity coefficient of ZnCl2 from the measured cell
potential.
(e) Determine the mean ionic activity coefficient of ZnCl2 from the Debye-Hückel limiting
law.
(f) Given that (dEcell/dT)p = -2.32 × 10-4 V K, calculate A,S and A,H.
