Question

The e.m.f of a Daniell cell at 298 K is E1
Zn|ZnSO4(0.01 M)||CuSO4(1.0 M)|Cu
When the concentration of ZnSO4 is 1.0 M and that of CuSO4 is 0.01 M, the e.m.f changed to E2. What is the relationship between E1 and E2?

A
E1>E2

Solution

The correct option is A E1>E2
Cell reaction can be represented by
Zn+Cu2+Cu+Zn2+
Applying Nernst equation,
E1=Ecell0.0592 log 0.011
When the concentrations of ZnSO4 and CuSO4 are altered,
E2=Ecell0.0592 log 10.01
So E1>E2
