To find the standard potential of M3+/M electrode, the following cell is constituted: Pt/M/M3+ 0.001 mol L-1/Ag+ 0.01 mol L-1/Ag

The emf of the cell is found to be 0.421 volt at 298 K. The standard potential of half-reaction M3++3e-M at 298 K will be:

(Given: EAg+Ag at 298 K=0.80 volt)

The correct answer is: 0.32 volt
Ecell=Eocell0.0591nlogQ

Q=M3+Ag+3 =0.001(0.01)3=103

Ecell=Eocell0.05913log103

Ecell=Eocell0.05913×3=0.421Eocell0.0591=0.421Eocell=0.48 V =EoAg+/Ag-EoM3+/MEoM3+/M=0.80-0.48 = 0.32 V
