Solution

The correct option is A $1.10$ volt
$E_{c e l l} = E_{o} - \frac{R T}{2 F} \times l n (\frac{Z n^{2 +}}{C u^{2 +}})$
$E_{o} = 1.10$ , $[C u^{2 +}] = 0.1, Z n^{2 +} = 0.1$
Hence, $E_{c e l l} = 1.10 - \frac{R T}{2 F} \times l n (\frac{0.1}{0.1})$
$= 1.10 - 0$
$= 1.10 v o l t$
Hence, option A is correct.
