The cell Zn//Zn^(2+) (1 M) ||Cu^(2+)(1M)...

The cell `Zn//Zn^(2+) (1 M) ||Cu^(2+)(1M)//Cu(E_("cell")^(0) = 1.10 V)`was allowed to be completely discharged at 298 K. The relative concentration of `Zn^(2+)` to `Cu^(2+) (([Zn^(2+)])/([Cu^(2+)]))` is `10^(x)`. The value of x is :
(take `(2.303 RT)/(F) = 0.059` round off your answer up to one decimal)

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( x \) in the expression \( \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} = 10^x \) after the cell has been completely discharged. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction**: The cell reaction can be written as: \[ \text{Zn (s)} + \text{Cu}^{2+} (aq) \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} (aq) + \text{Cu (s)} \] 2. **Understand the Condition of Complete Discharge**: When the cell is completely discharged, the cell potential \( E_{\text{cell}} \) becomes zero. 3. **Use the Nernst Equation**: The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} - \frac{2.303RT}{nF} \log \left( \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} \right) \] Here, \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = 1.10 \, \text{V} \), \( n = 2 \) (since 2 electrons are involved), and at 298 K, we are given \( \frac{2.303RT}{F} = 0.059 \). 4. **Set Up the Equation for Complete Discharge**: Since \( E_{\text{cell}} = 0 \) at complete discharge: \[ 0 = 1.10 - \frac{0.059}{2} \log \left( \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} \right) \] 5. **Rearrange the Equation**: Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{0.059}{2} \log \left( \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} \right) = 1.10 \] Multiplying both sides by \( \frac{2}{0.059} \): \[ \log \left( \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} \right) = \frac{1.10 \times 2}{0.059} \] 6. **Calculate the Right Side**: Calculate \( \frac{1.10 \times 2}{0.059} \): \[ \frac{2.20}{0.059} \approx 37.288 \] 7. **Find the Concentration Ratio**: Thus, \[ \log \left( \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} \right) \approx 37.288 \] Taking the antilog gives: \[ \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} \approx 10^{37.288} \] 8. **Determine \( x \)**: Since \( \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} = 10^x \), we have \( x \approx 37.288 \). 9. **Round Off**: Rounding \( x \) to one decimal place gives: \[ x \approx 37.3 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is \( 37.3 \).
