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

Solution
The correct option is AE1>E2 Cell reaction can be represented by Zn+Cu2+→Cu+Zn2+ Applying Nernst equation, E1=E∘cell−0.0592log0.011 When the concentrations of ZnSO4 and CuSO4 are altered, E2=E∘cell−0.0592log10.01 So E1>E2
