At what pH, given half cell MnO4-(0.1M)Mn2+ (0.001 M) will have electrode potential of 1.282 V ? (Nearest Integer)

Given EMnO4-/Mn2+o=1.54 V,2.303RTF=0.059 V

Solution

MnO4-+8H++5e-Mn2++4H2O

E=E°-0.0595logMn2+MnO4-H+8

1.282=1.54-0.0595log10-310-1×H+8

0.258×50.059=log10-2H+8

21.86=-2+8pH

pH=2.98
