In the electrochemical cell ZnZnSOCuSOCuthe emf of this Daniel cell is When the concentration of ZnSO is changed to 1.0 M and that of CuSO changed to 0.01 M, the emf changed to From the following, which one is the relationship between and Given:
To solve this problem, we will use the Nernst equation to calculate the emf of the cell under different conditions.The Nernst equation for a cell is given by:Where:• is the cell potential (emf).• is the standard cell potential.• is the universal gas constant.• is the temperature in Kelvin.• is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction.• is Faraday's constant.• is the reaction quotient.For the given cell reaction:ZnCuZnCuThe standard cell potential is calculated as:Given that we can write the Nernst equation as:For the first condition:• Concentration of ZnSO M• Concentration of CuSO MThe reaction quotient is:For the second condition:• Concentration of ZnSO M• Concentration of CuSO MThe reaction quotient is:Now, calculate the difference between and Since and we have:Comparing and Thus, Therefore, the correct relationship is: Option 2:
