E∘Ag+|Ag=0.8 volt and E∘Zn2+|Zn=−0.76 volt Which of the following is correct?
Since H2 has greater reduction potential so it will reduce Ag+.
The standard reducation potentials of
Zn2+|Zn,Cu2+|Cu and Ag+|Ag
are respectively -0.76, 0.34 and 0.8 V. The following cells were constructed.
a) Zn|Zn2+||Cu2+|Cu
b) Zn|Zn2+||Ag+|Ag
c) Cu|Cu2+||Ag+|Ag
What is the correct order E0cell of these cells?
The cell representation of the given reactions is:
Zn(s) + 2Ag+ → Zn2+ + 2Ag(s)
