For the cell, Zn(s)abs(Zn^(2+))abs(Cu^(2+))Cu(s), the standard cell voltage, E^(0)""_(cell) is 1.10 V.When a cell using these reagents was prepared in the lab, the measured cell voltage was 0.98One possible explanation for the observed voltage is :

Answer»

there were `2.00` mole of `Cu^(2+)` but only `1.00` mol of `Zn^(2+)`
the Zn electrode had TWICE the surface area as that of the Cu electrode
the `[Zn^(2+)]` concentration was LARGER than the `[Cu^(2+)]` concentration
the volume of the `Zn^(2+)` ION solution was GREATER than the volume of the `Cu^(2+)` ion solution.
