Solution

The standard reduction potential of the half cells are
E0Cu2+/Cu=+0.34 V
E0Zn2+/Zn=0.76 V

Zn(s)+Cu2+(0.02 M)Zn2+(0.04 M)+Cu(s)

In the given reaction, Cu2+ get reduced and Zn get oxidised.
Hence,
E0cell=E0cathode (red)E0anode (red)
E0cell=0.34(0.76)
E0cell=+1.1 V

Reaction quotient, Q=[Zn2+][Cu2+]=0.040.02=2

Ecell=E0cell+0.059nlog Q
n is number of electron involved in the reaction.

Ecell=1.10.0592log 2

=109×102 V
