Solution

The correct option is B $2 P_{1} < P_{2}$
Cell reaction is
$C l_{2} (g) + 2 C l^{-} (a q) \to 2 C l^{-} (a q) + C l_{2} (g)$
$P_{2} 1 M 2 M P_{1}$

Since it is a concentration cell, $E_{c e l l}^{0} = 0$

$E_{c e l l} = 0 - \frac{0.0591}{2} l n \frac{2 P_{1}}{P_{2}} = \frac{0.0591}{2} l n \frac{P_{2}}{2 P_{1}}$

For spontaneous cell reaction $E_{c e l l} = + v e$ ie. $P_{2} > 2 P_{1}$
