Which of the following condition is correct for operation of electrolytic cell?
The concentration of potassium ions inside a biological cell is at least twenty times higher than the outside. The resulting potential difference across the cell is important in several processes such as transmission of nerve impulses and maintaining the ion balance. A simple model for such a concentration cell involving a metal M is: M(s)|M+ (aq;0.05 molar)||M+ (aq;1 molar)|M(s) For the above electrolytic cell the magnitude of the cell potential |Ecell|=70 mV.
For the above cell
No/2 atoms of X(g) are converted into X+(g) by energy E1 . No/2 atoms of X(g) are converted into X-(g) by energy E2 . Hence the ionisation potential and electron affinity of X(g) per atom are:
A. 2E1/No. , 2(E2-E1)/No
B. 2E1/No. ,. 2E2/No
C. E1-E2/No. ,. 2E2/No
D. None is correct
