The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the electrolyte concentration cell, we will analyze each of the four options provided and determine their validity step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Electrolyte Concentration Cell**: - An electrolyte concentration cell consists of two half-cells that contain the same electrode material but different concentrations of the same electrolyte solution. For example, both half-cells could use copper (Cu) electrodes immersed in copper sulfate (CuSO4) solutions of different concentrations. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - **Statement**: "The electrode material and the solution in both half-cells are composed of the same substances." - **Evaluation**: This statement is true because, in an electrolyte concentration cell, both half-cells use the same electrode material (e.g., Cu) and the same electrolyte (e.g., CuSO4). - **Conclusion**: Option A is correct. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - **Statement**: "Only the concentrations of the solution of the same substance is different." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also true. The key feature of an electrolyte concentration cell is that while the electrode materials are the same, the concentrations of the electrolytic solutions differ, creating a potential difference. - **Conclusion**: Option B is correct. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - **Statement**: "E_cell = E°_cell = 0." - **Evaluation**: This statement is true. Since both half-cells consist of the same material, the standard cell potential (E°_cell) is zero. The potential difference arises solely due to the concentration difference. - **Conclusion**: Option C is correct. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - **Statement**: "The Nernst equation reduces to E_cell = -0.0591/n * log Q." - **Evaluation**: The Nernst equation is given by E_cell = E°_cell - (0.0591/n) * log Q. Since E°_cell = 0 for this cell, the equation simplifies to E_cell = - (0.0591/n) * log Q, which is consistent with the statement provided. - **Conclusion**: Option D is correct. ### Final Conclusion: All four options (A, B, C, and D) are correct regarding the characteristics of an electrolyte concentration cell.
