Solution
Verified by Toppr

M(s)|M+aq(0.05M)||M+aq(1M)|M(s)

|Ecell|=70mV means may be +ve or -ve

According to Nernst equation:

E=Eo0.0591logQ/n

Ecell=EOPLHS+ERPRHS

=EoOP0.0591log[M+]LHS+EoRP+0.0591log[M+]RHS

=0.059log[M+]RHS[M+]LHS=0.059log10.05

=0.059×1.30=0.076V=76mV=70mV

Ecell=+ve andΔG=nFE=ve

So for this reaction,

Ecell>0;ΔG<0

The concentration of potassium ions inside a biological cell is at least twenty times higher than the outside. The resulting potential difference across the cell is important in several processes such as transmission of nerve impulses and maintaining the ion balance. A simple model for such a concentration cell involving a metal M is:
M(s)|M+ (aq;0.05 molar)||M+ (aq;1 molar)|M(s)
For the above electrolytic cell the magnitude of the cell potential |Ecell|=70 mV.
