Question:

Redox reaction Zn(s) + Cu2+ (0.1M) → Zn2+ (1M) + Cu(s) takes place in a cell with Eocell = 1.1V then what is Ecell for the cell at 298K?  

Options:

2.14 V

1.8 V

1.07 V

0.82 V

Correct Answer:

1.07 V

Explanation:

Ecell = Eocell - \(\frac{0.059}{2}\)log\(\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}\)

Ecell = 1.1 - \(\frac{0.059}{2}\)log\(\frac{[1]}{[0.1]}\)  

Ecell = 1.1 - 0.0295 log10             [∴log10 = 1]

Ecell = 1.1 - 0.0295 = 1.0705 V
