Determine the potential of a Daniell cell, initially containing 1.00L each of 1.0M copper (II) ion and 1.0M zinc(II) ion, after passage of 105 coulomb charge. The E∘ of the Daniell cell is 1.10volt.

Solution
1.09volt. By passage of 105 coulomb charge, zinc ion concentration increases by 0.518mole while copper ion concentration decreases by 0.518mole. Thus, [Zn2+]=1.518M and [Cu2+]=0.482M.
