The emf of the cells obtained by combining zinc and copper electrodes of the Daniell cell with calomel electrodes are 1.083 volt and -0.018 volt respectively at `25^(@)C`. If the reduction potential of normal calomel electrode is + 0.28 volt, find the emf of the Daniell cell.

Answer» For the cell Zn electrode || calomel electrode
`E_(cell)=` Oxid. Pot. Of Zn electrode + Red. Pot. Of calomel electrode So, oxid. Pot. Of Zn electrode `=1.083-0.28=0.803` volt
For the cell,
Cu electrode || Calomel electrode
`E_(cell)=` Oxid. pot. of Cu electrode + Red. pot. of calomel electrode So, oxid. pot. of Cu electrode=- 0.018-0.28=-0.298 volt
for the daniell cell,
Zn electrode||Cu electrode
`E_(cell)=` Oxid. pot. of Zn electrode + Red. pot. of copper electrode
`=0.803+0.298=1.101` volt
