Question

Consider the cell:
$Z n | Z n^{2 +} (a q) (1.0 M) | | C u^{2 +} (a q) (1.0 M) | | C u$
The standard reduction potential are 0.350 V for $C u^{2 +} (a q) + 2 e^{-} \to C u$ and -0.763 V for $Z n^{2 +} (a q) + 2 e^{-} \to Z n$ .
The EMF (in V) of the cell is ( write your answer as nearest integer) :

Solution

EMF of the cell = $E_{c a t h o d e}^{⊝} - E_{a n o d e}^{⊝}$
$= E_{C u^{2 +} | C u}^{⊝} - E_{Z n^{2 +} | Z n}^{⊝}$
$= 0.350 - (- 0.763) = 1.113 V$
