Calculate the cell potential for the cell below at 25C Ti(s)| Ti(NO3)2(aq) (0.92 M)|| HgCl2(aq) (0.43 M)|Hg(l)|
Nernest equation,
Ti2+ + 2 e− --> Ti(s) E0 = −1.63 v
Hg2+ + 2 e− ---> Hg(l) E0 = +0.85 v
E0cell = E0cathode - E0anode
= 0.85- (-1.63)
= 2.48 v
Cell reaction : Ti(s) +Hg2+(aq) ----> Ti2+(aq) + Hg(l)
Ecell = E0cell - 0.0591/nlog[[Ti2+]/[Hg2+]]
= 2.48-(0.0591/2)log(0.92/0.43)
= 2.47
