Solution

The correct options are
A $E_{c e l l}$ decreases when Co (II) nitrate is dissolved in cathode compartment.
B $E_{c e l l}$ increases when Co (III) nitrate is dissolved in cathode compartment.
D $E_{c e l l}$ increases when additional water is added to the anode compartment.
$E_{c e l l} : E_{c e l l}^{0} - \frac{0.059}{2} l o g \frac{[C o^{2 +}] [Z n^{2 +}]}{[C o^{3 +}]^{2}},$ Electrode area does not affect $E_{c e l l}$
