161. Zinc rod is dipped in 0.1 M solution of ZnSO₄. The salt is 95% dissociated at this dilution at 298 K. Calculate the electrode potential. [Given that: E°_Zn²⁺/Zn = – 0.76 V.]

Concentration of ${Zn}^{2 +} (aq)$
= 0.1 + $\frac{95}{100} = 0.095$
${Zn}^{2 +} (aq) + 2 e^{-} \to Zn$
According to Nernst equation,
$E = E ° + \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \frac{[{Zn}^{2 +} (aq)]}{[Zn]}$
$= - 0.76 + \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \frac{0.095}{1} = 0.76 + 0.02953 \times (- 1.0223) = - 0.76 - 0.03021 = - 0.79 V .$
