The standard reduction potential of Zn^(...

The standard reduction potential of `Zn^(2+)|Zn` and `Cu^(2+)|Cu` are `-0.76V` and `+0.34` V respectively. What is the cell e.m.f (in V) of the following cell?
`((RT)/(F)=0.059)`
`Zn//Zn^(2+)" "(0.05M)//Cu^(2+)(0.005M)//Cu`

A

1.1295

B

1.0705

C

1.1

D

1.041

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`E_(cell) = (E_(cathode)^(0) - E_(Anode)^(0)) - (0.059)/n log [Zn^(2+)]/[Cu^(2+)]`
