JEE PYQ: Electrochemistry Question 23
Question 23 - 2020 (08 Jan Shift 1)
What would be the electrode potential for the given half cell reaction at pH = 5? $2\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{O}2 + 4\text{H}^\oplus + 4e^-$; $E^0{\text{red}} = 1.23$ V
(R = 8.314 J mol$^{-1}$ K$^{-1}$; Temp = 298 K; oxygen under std. atm. pressure of 1 bar)
Show Answer
Answer: 1.52
Solution
$E = 1.23 + 0.0591 \times 5 = 1.52$ V.
