Q. The temperature coefficient of a cell whose cell reaction is
$Pb\left(\right.s\left.\right)+HgCl_{2}\left(\right.aq\left.\right) \rightarrow PbCl_{2}\left(\right.aq\left.\right)+Hg\left(\right.l\left.\right)$
$\left(\frac{d E}{d T}\right)_{P}=1.5\times 10^{- 4}VK^{- 1}$ at 298
The change in entropy for the given cell reaction will be

Solution:

$\left(\frac{d E}{d T}\right)_{P}=\frac{\Delta S}{n F}$
$1.5\times 10^{- 4}=\frac{\Delta S}{2 \times 96500}$
$\Delta S=28.95JK^{- 1}mol^{- 1}$ .
