Explanation / Answer

Overall balanced reaction:-

Cd2+(aq) + H2(g) -------------> 2H+(aq) + Cd(s) ; E0cell = -0.403

Now, applying Nernst Equation:-

Ecell = E0cell - (0.0591/2)*log{[H+]2}/{[Cd2+]*[H2]}

or, -0.3597 = -0.403 - (0.059/2)*log{[H+]2}/{1*0.781}

or, log{{[H+]2}/0.781} = -1.468

or, {{[H+]2}/0.781} = 10-1.468 = 0.0341

or, [H+] = 0.1631 M
