The correct Answer is:
To calculate the EMF of a Daniel cell with given concentrations of ZnSO₄ and CuSO₄, we will use the Nernst equation. Here are the steps to solve the problem: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Standard Potential (E°)**: The standard potential of the Daniel cell is given as: \[ E° = 1.1 \, \text{V} \] 2. **Write the Nernst Equation**: The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E = E° - \frac{0.059}{n} \log \frac{[\text{Products}]}{[\text{Reactants}]} \] For the Daniel cell, the half-reactions are: - Oxidation: \( \text{Zn} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} + 2e^- \) - Reduction: \( \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu} \) Here, \( n = 2 \) (the number of electrons transferred). 3. **Identify the Concentrations**: The concentrations are given as: - \([\text{Zn}^{2+}] = 0.001 \, \text{M} = 10^{-3} \, \text{M}\) - \([\text{Cu}^{2+}] = 0.1 \, \text{M} = 10^{-1} \, \text{M}\) 4. **Substitute into the Nernst Equation**: Substitute the values into the Nernst equation: \[ E = 1.1 - \frac{0.059}{2} \log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]} \] \[ E = 1.1 - \frac{0.059}{2} \log \frac{10^{-3}}{10^{-1}} \] 5. **Calculate the Logarithm**: Simplify the logarithm: \[ \log \frac{10^{-3}}{10^{-1}} = \log (10^{-3} \times 10^{1}) = \log (10^{-2}) = -2 \] 6. **Substitute the Logarithm Value**: Now substitute this value back into the equation: \[ E = 1.1 - \frac{0.059}{2} \times (-2) \] \[ E = 1.1 + 0.059 \] 7. **Final Calculation**: \[ E = 1.159 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer: The EMF of the Daniel cell is: \[ E = 1.159 \, \text{V} \]
