Solution
The correct options are A decreasing [Tl+] B increasing [Cu2+] The expression for the cell potential is Ecell=E0cell−0.0592nlog[Tl+][Cu2+] Thus, when [Cu2+] is increased or [Tl+] is decreased, the value of the term 0.0592nlog[Tl+][Cu2+] decreases. Hence, the value of the cell potential increases.
