If the 0.65 M KOH of Exercise 43 is replaced by 0.65 M NH 3 , (a)

Question:

If the 0.65 M KOH of Exercise 43 is replaced by 0.65 M NH3

(a) Will Ecell be higher or lower than in the cell with 0.65 M KOH?

(b) What will be the value of Ecell?


Exercise 43

A concentration cell is constructed of two hydrogen electrodes: one immersed in a solution with [H+] = 1.0 M and the other in 0.65 M KOH.

(a) Determine Ecell for the reaction that occurs.

(b) Compare this value of Ecell with E° for the reduction of H2O to H2(g) in basic solution, and explain the relationship between them.
