Question
For a given reaction : $$M\left( {x + n} \right) + n{e^ - } \to {M^{x + }},{E^ - }_{red}$$ is known along with $${M^{\left( {x + n} \right)}}$$ and $${M^{x + }}\,ion$$ concentrations. Then
A.
$$n$$ can be evaluated
B.
$$x$$ can be evaluated
C.
$$(x + n)$$ can be evaluated
D.
$$n,x,\left( {x + n} \right)$$ can be evaluated
Answer :
$$n$$ can be evaluated
Solution :
$${E_{red}} = E_{red}^ \circ + \frac{{0.059}}{n}\log \frac{{\left[ {{M^{\left( {x + n} \right)}}} \right]}}{{\left[ {{M^{x + }}} \right]}}$$
