Solution

The correct option is C Pt,H2(g)|H(pH=5)||h(pH=3)|H2(g),Pt

Ecell=Ecell0.059ncelllogQcell

For Ecell>Ecell,Qcell<1 (i.e. logQcell<0)

a. H2(1atm)+2H(103M)2H(105M)+H2(1atm)

b. Zn(s)+Cu2+(0.1M)Zn2+(0.2M)+Cu(s)Qcell=[Zn2+]Cu2+]=0.20.1=2>1

c. 2Cr(s)+3Cu2+(0.2M)2Cr3+(0.1M)+3Cu(s)Qcell=[Cr3+]2[Cu2+]3=(0.1)2(0.2)3>1

d. H2(1atm)+H(106M)2H(104M)+H2(1atm)

Qcell=(104)2×11×(106)2=104>1.
