Consider the cell `:` `Pt|H_(2)(p_(1)atm)|H^(o+)(x_(1)M) || H^(o+)(x_(2)M)|H_(2)(p_(2)atm)Pt`. The cell reaction be spontaneous ifA. `p_(1)=p_(2)`B. `p_(1)gtp_(2)`C. `p_(2)gtp_(1)`D. `p_(1)=1 atm`

Answer» Correct Answer - b
Cell is spontaneous when `p_(1)(` anode `)gtp_(2)(` cathode `)`
`E_(cell)=0.05[pH_(a)-pH_(c)+(1)/(2)log.((pH_(2))_(a))/((pH_(2))_(c))]`
`=0.059[0-0+(1)/(2)log.(p_(1))/(p_(2))]`
Thus, `E_(cell)gt0` if `p_(1)gtp_(2)`
