(a) The electrode potential for the Daniell cell given below is 1.1 V. Zn(s) |Z_(n)^(2+)(aq)||Cu^(2+)(aq)|Cu(s) Write overall cell reaction and calculate the standard Gibb's energy for the reaction. [ F 96487 c//mol] (b) Mention any two factors which affects the conductivity of electrolytic solution .

Answer»

Solution :(a) `Zn(s) + Cu^(2+)(aq) to Zn^(2+) (aq) + Cu(s)`
`Delta G^(0) = nFE_("CELL")^(0)`
`DeltaG^(0) = -2 xx 96487 xx 1.1 = 21227//mol " OR " - 212.27 kJ//mol`.
(b) (i) The NATURE of the electrolyte
(ii) Temperature
(III) Concentration of the electrolyte
(IV) Size of the ions produced any their solvation
(V) The nature of the solvent and its viscosity.
