Solution

The correct option is D Increasing the size of the $Z n S$ electrode.
Zn is acting as an anode and on increasing the size of $Z n$ electrode, the oxidation will increase and number of electrons in solution also increase and this will increase the voltage.

Consider a typical volatic cell where Zn(s) is placed in Zn2+(aq) in one cell and Cu(s) is placed in Cu2+(aq) in the other.For the voltaic cell represented above, which change will INCREASE the voltage?

The correct option is D Increasing the size of the ZnS electrode.Zn is acting as an anode and on increasing the size of Zn electrode, the oxidation will increase and number of electrons in solution also increase and this will increase the voltage.
