(a)ElectrodeA,Eo=2.92V and ElectrodeB,Eo=2.71V
(b)ElectrodeC,Eo=0.760V and ElectrodeD,Eo=0.44V
(c)ElectrodeB,Eo=2.71V and ElectrodeD,Eo=0.44V

Solution

The correct option is B abdc
The potential difference is called the cell potential (or EMF for electromotive force) which is represented as E(Cell)=E(cathode)E(anode). The EMF values for above cells are (a)=0.21V,(b)=0.32V,(c)=2.27Vand(d)=2.16V. Increasing order of emf values = abdc
