In the electrochemical cell: Z|ZnSO_(4)(0.01M)||CuSO_(4)(1.0M)|Cu, the e.m.f. this daniel cell is E_(1). When the concentration of ZnSO_(4) is changed to 1.0 M and that of CuSO_(4) is changed to 0.01 M, the e.m.f. changes to E_(2). from the following, which one is the relationship between E_(1) and E_(2)? (Given, (RT)/(F)=0.059)

Answer»

`E_(1)=E_(2)`
`E_(1) gt E_(2)`
`E_(1) gt E_(2)`
`E_(2)=0neE_(2)`

Solution :The cell reaction is
`Zn+CuSO_(4)toZnSO_(4)+CU,n=2`
`E=E_(cell)^(@)-(2.303RT)/(2F)"log"([ZnSO_(4)])/([CuSO_(4)])`
In 1 st CASE, `E_(1)=E_(cell)^(@)-(2.303RT)/(2F)"log"(0.01)/(1)`
In 2nd case, `E_(2)=E_(cell)^(@)-(2.303RT)/(2F)"log"(1)/(0.01)`
Evidently, `E_(1)gtE_(2)`.
