Constant = 8.314JK⁻¹mol⁻¹
T is for temperature which is 298K
Faraday constant value is 96500C/mol
n is the number of electrons which are transferred in the reaction.
Ecell = E₀cell - RT/nFiN [cathode]/[anode]
Ecell = E₀cell - RT/nF In [PH₂]/[H⁺]²
Ecell = 0.00-8.314 JK⁻¹ mol⁻¹ × 298k/ 2× 96500C/mol In [2.4atm]/ 0.70]²
Ecell = 0.00 - 0.0129 In (2.59)
Ecell = 0.00 - 0.0129 × 0.951
Ecell = -0.0122V
∴Ecell is = -o.0122v
