0.2\% (w/v) solution of NaOH is measured to have resistivity 870.0 m m. The molar conductivity of the solution will be 102 mS dm2 mol-1. (Nearest integer)
For a Mg | Mg2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag the correct Nernst Equation is :
- Ecell = E cell - RT2F [Ag+]2[Mg2+]
- Ecell = E cell - RT2F [Mg2+][Ag+]
- Ecell = E cell - RT2F [Ag+][Mg2+]
- Ecell = E cell + RT2F [Ag+]2[Mg2+]
