Consider the following reaction, `Cu|Cu^(2+) (1M)||(Zn^(2+)(1 M)|Zn` A cell represented above should have emfA. positiveB. negativeC. zeroD. Cannot be predicted

Answer» Correct Answer - B
If `E_(red)^(@)` of `Cu` and `Zn` are known from `ECS`.
then, `E^(@)=E_("cathode")^(@)-E_("anode")^(@)`
`=E_("right")^(@)-E_("left")^(@)`
`=(-0.76)-(+0.34)` (From ECS)
`=-0.76-0.34=-1.10 V`
