The emf of a Daniell cell at `298 K` is `E_(1)` `Zn|ZnSO_(4)(0.01 M)||CuSO_(4)(1.0M)|Cu` When the concentration of `ZNSO_(4)` is `1.0 M` and that of `CuSO_(4)` is `0.01 M`, the `emf` changed to `E_(2)`. What is the relationship between `E_(1)` and `E(2)` ?A. `E_(1) lt E_(2)`B. `E_(1) gt E_(2)`C. `E_(2)=0neE_(1)`D. `E_(1)=E_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) According to Nernst equation.
`E_(cell)=E_(cell)^(@)-(0.059)/(n)"log"([Zn^(2+)])/([Cu^(2+)])`
`E_(1)=E_(cell)^(@)-(0.059)/(2)"log"(0.01)/(1)`
`=E_(cell)^(@)-(0.059)/(2)(-2)=E_(cell)^(@)+0.059`
`E_(2)=E_(cell)^(@)-(0.059)/(2)"log"(1)/(0.01)`
`E_(2)=E_(cell)^(@)-(0.059)/(2)(2)=E_(cell)^(@)-0.059`
Hence, `E_(1) gt E_(2)`.
