The EMF of a cell corresponding to the reaction

Zn ( s ) + 2 H + ( a q ) Zn + 2 ( 0.1 M ) + H 2 ( g , 1 atm ) \text{Zn}(s)+2\text{H}^+(aq) \to \text{Zn}^{+2}(0.1\text{ M})+\text{H}_2(g,1 \space \text{atm})

is 0.28 volts at 298 K.

Calculate the pH of the solution at the hydrogen electrode. \color{#3D99F6}{\text{Calculate the pH of the solution at the hydrogen electrode.}}

E Zn 2 + Zn = 0.76 V E H + H 2 = 0 V \begin{aligned} E_{\text{Zn}^{2+}|\text{Zn}}&=-0.76\text{ V}\\ E_{\text{H}^{+}|\text{H}_2}&=0\text{ V} \end{aligned}


The answer is 8.62.
