Question

Assertion: The Nernst equation gives concentration dependence of EMF of the cell.

Reason: In a Daniell cell current flows from cathode to anode.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true
  
• E. Both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

Generalised Nernst Equation:$E=E^0-\frac{RT}{nF}logQ$

$whereQ=Reactionquotient$

Reaction Quotient depends on the concentration of ions in the solution. From the image, we can conclude that current flows from cathode to anode (opposite to the flow of electron)
