The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the electrochemical cell represented by the notation \( \text{Zn(s)} | \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) || \text{Cu}^{2+}(aq) | \text{Cu(s)} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Anode and Cathode In the given cell notation: - The anode is where oxidation occurs. Here, zinc (Zn) is oxidized to zinc ions (\( \text{Zn}^{2+} \)). - The cathode is where reduction occurs. Here, copper ions (\( \text{Cu}^{2+} \)) are reduced to copper (Cu). ### Step 2: Write the Half-Reactions - **Oxidation half-reaction (Anode):** \[ \text{Zn(s)} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- \] - **Reduction half-reaction (Cathode):** \[ \text{Cu}^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu(s)} \] ### Step 3: Write the Overall Cell Reaction Combining the oxidation and reduction half-reactions gives the overall cell reaction: \[ \text{Zn(s)} + \text{Cu}^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + \text{Cu(s)} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Standard Cell Potential (\( E^\circ \)) To find the standard cell potential, we need the standard reduction potentials for both half-reactions: - For \( \text{Zn}^{2+}/\text{Zn} \): \( E^\circ = -0.76 \, \text{V} \) - For \( \text{Cu}^{2+}/\text{Cu} \): \( E^\circ = +0.34 \, \text{V} \) Using the formula for the cell potential: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] Substituting the values: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.34 \, \text{V} - (-0.76 \, \text{V}) = 0.34 \, \text{V} + 0.76 \, \text{V} = 1.10 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 5: Conclusion The electrochemical cell represented by the notation is a **Daniel cell** (or galvanic cell) with a standard cell potential of \( 1.10 \, \text{V} \). ### Final Answer The answer is **Daniel cell**. ---
