In which of the following cells, EMF is greater that E⊖cell ?
Ecell=E⊖cell−0.059ncelllogQcell
For Ecell>E⊖cell,Qcell<1 (i.e. logQcell<0)
a. H2(1atm)+2H⊕(10−3M)→2H⊕(10−5M)+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⊕(10−6M)→2H⊕(10−4M)+H2(1atm)
Qcell=(10−4)2×11×(10−6)2=104>1.
