Question

An electrochemical cell, consist of the following two redox couples, \(M^{x+}(aq)/M(s) [E_{red}^\circ = +0.15 V]\) and \(Fe^{3+}(aq)/Fe(s) [E_{red}^\circ = -0.036 V]\). The cell EMF (\(E_{cell}\)) is recorded to be 0.2057 V. If the reaction quotient of the electrochemical cell is found to be \(10^{-z}\), then the value of x is _________. (Nearest integer)
[Given : M is a p-block metal and \(\frac{2.303 RT}{F} = 0.059 V\)]

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 2
