    What will be pH of the following half-cell\[Pt,\,{{H}_{2}}\left| {{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}} \right.\]? The oxidation potential is + 0.3V.

    A)  3.085                   

    B)  4.085  

    C)  5.085                   

    D)  6.085

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}^{+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\] \[\because \]     \[{{E}_{cell}}=E_{cell}^{o}-\frac{0.0591}{n}{{\log }_{10}}\frac{{{[{{H}^{+}}]}^{2}}}{[{{H}_{2}}]}\] \[\therefore \]  \[0.3=0-\frac{0.0591}{2}{{\log }_{10}}{{[{{H}^{+}}]}^{2}}\] or            \[-\log \,[{{H}^{+}}]=\frac{0.3}{0.0591}=5.085\] \[\therefore \]  \[pH-\log [{{H}^{+}}]=5.085\]
