JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 8th January Morning Slot - No. 9)

What would be the electrode potential for the given half cell reaction at pH = 5? ______.

2H2O $$ \to $$ O2 + 4H$$ \oplus $$ + 4e ; $$E_{red}^0$$ = 1.23 V

(R = 8.314 J mol–1 K–1 ; Temp = 298 k;

oxygen under std. atm. pressure of 1 bar)
Answer
1.52TO1.53

Explanation

E = E0 - $${{0.0591} \over 4}\log {\left[ {{H^ + }} \right]^4}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ E = 1.23 + 0.0591 × pH

$$ \Rightarrow $$ E = 1.23 + 0.0591 × (5)

$$ \Rightarrow $$ E = 1.52
