In the electrochemic al cell
`Zn|Zn^(2+)||H^(+)|Pt,H_(2)`
`E_("cell")^(@)=E_("cell")` when

A

`[Zn^(2+)]=[H^(+)]=1M ` and `pH_(2)=1` atm.

B

`[Zn^(2+)]=0.01M.[H^(+)]=0.1M` and `pH_(2)=1` atm

C

`[Zn^(2+)]=1M. [H^(+)]=0.1M` and `pH_(2)=0.01`atm

D

All of the above.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`Zn+2H^(+)rarrZn^(2+)+H_(2)`
`E_("cell")^(@)=E_("cell")^(@)-(RT)/(nF)InQ`
`=E_("cell")^(@)-(RT)/(nF)In((Zn^(2+))(pH_(2)))/([H^(+)]^(2))`
(A) When `[Zn^(2+)]=[H^(+)]`=1M and `pH_(2)` =1atm
`Q=1, "In" Q=0`
`therefore E_("cell")^(@)=E_("Cell")^(@)`
(C) When `[Zn^(2+)]=1M.[H^(+)]=0.1` and
`pH_(2)=0.01`
`Q=(0.01xx1)/((0.1)^(2))=1`
`therefore E_("cell")=E_("cell")^(@)`
Thus all the choices (A,B and C) are correct. Thus the correct answer is D.
