Solution
Q:3. Sol:-
We know that Reduction half cell reaction of Zn is :
Zn 2+
(aq) + 2e -
-------------> Zn(s) , E 0
Zn
2+
/Zn = - 0.76 V
Now Nernst equation for this equation is :
E Zn
2+
/Zn = E 0
Zn
2+
/Zn - 0.0591 / n log 1 / [Zn 2+
] ........... (1)
E Zn
2+
/Zn = Non-Standard Reduction potential = ?
E 0
Zn
2+
/Zn = Standard Reduction potential = - 0.76 V (given)

2. n = number of electrons gain = 2
Now because salts is 20 % dissociated only , therefore concentration of Zn 2+
i.e [Zn 2+
] will be :
[Zn 2+
] = 20 % of 0.1 M
= 20 x 0.1 M / 100
= 0.02 M
Now on substituting all these values in equation (1) , we have
E Zn
2+
/Zn = -0.76 V - 0.0591 / 2 log 1 / 0.02 M
E Zn
2+
/Zn = - 0.76 V - 0.02955 log 50
E Zn
2+
/Zn = - 0.76 V - 0.02955 x 1.69897
E Zn
2+
/Zn = - 0.76 V - 0.05020
E Zn
2+
/Zn = - 0.81 V
Hence electrode potential i.e E Zn
2+
/Zn = - 0.81 V
