NEET 2026 Chemistry Nernst Equation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Calculate emf of the half cell given below: Pt (s) | H₂(g, 2 atm) | HCl (aq, 0.02 M) E°H⁺/H₂ = 0 V (Given: 2.303 RT/F = 0.059, log 2 = 0.3010)

A

–0.109 V

B

0.035 V

C

–0.035 V

D

0.109 V

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using the Nernst equation, E = E° - (2.303RT/nF) log ([H⁺]²/P_H₂). Substituting the given values, E = 0 - 0.059 log (0.0004/2) = 0.109 V.
