Calculate the pH of the cathode compartment solution if the cell emf at 298 K is measured to be 0.660 V when (Zn^2+)=0.22 M and(P_H2)= 0.87atm.

The pH of the solution as described in the question is 2.7.

The equation of the reaction is;

Zn(s) + 2H^+(aq) > Zn^2+(aq) + H2(g)

The partial pressure of hydrogen can be converted to molarity using;

P= MRT

M = P/RT

M =  0.87atm/0.082 LatmK-1mol-1 × 298 K = 0.036 mol/L

We have to obtain the reaction quotient

Q = [Zn^2+] [H2]/[H^+]^2

Q = [0.22 ] [0.036]/[H^+]^2

Recall that, from Nernst equation;

E = E° - 0.0592/nlog Q

E° = 0.00V - (-0.76V) = 0.76V

0.660 =  0.76 - 0.0592/2logQ

0.660 - 0.76  =  - 0.0592/2logQ

-0.1 =  - 0.0592/2logQ

-0.1 × 2/ - 0.0592 = logQ

3.38 = log Q

Q = Antilog (3.38)

Q= 2.39 × 10^3

Now;

2.39 × 10^3 =  [0.22 ] [0.036]/[H^+]^2

2.39 × 10^3 = 7.92  × 10^-3/[H^+]^2

[H^+]^2 = 7.92  × 10^-3/2.39 × 10^3

[H^+] = 1.82  × 10^-3

pH = -log[H^+]

pH = -log[ 1.82  × 10^-3]

pH = 2.7

because u need two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei to form isotopes.

so since they all have the same shape? i mean maybe because m& m and reeses are both chocolates

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.
