STANDARD Chemistry Nernst Equation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

The correct Nernst equation for the given cell Pt(s)|Br₂|Br⁻(M)||H⁺(M)|H₂(g) (1 bar)|Pt(s) is

A

E₀cell = Ecell + 0.0591/2 log [Br₂]/[Br⁻]²

B

Ecell = E₀cell - 0.0591/2 log [Br⁻]²/[Br₂]

C

Ecell = E₀cell - 0.0591/2 log [H⁺]²/[H₂]

D

Ecell = E₀cell - 0.0591/2 log [Br⁻]²/[H₂]

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The Nernst equation relates the reduction potential of a half-cell to the standard electrode potential, temperature, and activities of the chemical species involved.
