The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about a chloride ion concentration cell, we will break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 **Statement 1**: \( E_{\text{cell}}^\circ = 0 \) for a chloride ion concentration cell. - A concentration cell consists of two half-cells that have the same chemical species but different concentrations. In this case, we have chloride ions (\( \text{Cl}^- \)) at different concentrations in each half-cell. - The standard electrode potential (\( E_{\text{cell}}^\circ \)) for a concentration cell is zero because the two half-reactions involve the same species. The oxidation potential at the anode is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the reduction potential at the cathode. **Conclusion for Step 1**: Therefore, Statement 1 is true. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement 2 **Statement 2**: For this concentration cell, \( E_{\text{cell}} = \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \left( \frac{[\text{Cl}^-]_{\text{LHS}}}{[\text{Cl}^-]_{\text{RHS}}} \right) \). - The Nernst equation relates the cell potential to the concentrations of the reactants and products. For a concentration cell, the equation can be expressed as: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E_{\text{cell}}^\circ - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \left( \frac{[\text{Products}]}{[\text{Reactants}]} \right) \] - Since \( E_{\text{cell}}^\circ = 0 \), the equation simplifies to: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = -\frac{RT}{nF} \ln \left( \frac{[\text{Cl}^-]_{\text{RHS}}}{[\text{Cl}^-]_{\text{LHS}}} \right) \] - By inverting the fraction inside the logarithm, we can rewrite it as: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \left( \frac{[\text{Cl}^-]_{\text{LHS}}}{[\text{Cl}^-]_{\text{RHS}}} \right) \] **Conclusion for Step 2**: Thus, Statement 2 is also true. ### Step 3: Assessing the Relationship Between the Statements - Both statements are true, but Statement 2 does not serve as a correct explanation for Statement 1. Statement 1 simply states that the standard cell potential is zero, while Statement 2 provides a formula for calculating the cell potential based on concentrations. ### Final Answer Both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.
