Chapter 18, Problem 18.7P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electrode potential of given tin half-cell should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Electrode potential can be calculated by the Nernst equation,

  $E_{cell}=E^0{}_{cell}-\frac{RT}{nF}\ln Q$

Where,

  $E_{cell}$ =cell potential at non-standard state.

  $E^0{}_{cell}$ = cell potential at standard state.

R = universal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature

F = Faraday's constant

n = number of moles of electrons

Q = reaction quotient
