Solution

The correct option is C Cd(s)|Cd2+(aq)(0.01M)||pH=1|H2(g)(1 atm), Pt

(a) Cell reaction :
Zn+(aq)+Zn(s)H2(g)+Zn2+(aq)
Reaction quotient,
Q=PH2×[Zn2+][H+]2=1×0.010.12=1,logQ=0
(b) Cell reaction :
2Ag+(aq)+Cu(s)Cu2+(aq)+2Ag(s)
Q=[Cu2+][Ag+]2=0.25(0.5)2=1,
(c) Cell reaction :
2H+(aq)+Cd(s)H2+Cd2+(aq)Q=PH2×[Cd2+][H+]2=1×0.010.12=1
(d) Cell reaction :
2H+(aq)+Zn(s)H2+Zn2+(aq)
Q=PH2×[Zn2+][H+]2=1×0.010.12=10
