The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of identifying the incorrect relationship among the given statements related to electrochemistry, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the First Statement:** - The first statement claims that the equilibrium constant \( K \) is related to the electromotive force (emf) as: \[ \log K = \frac{nFE}{2.303RT} \] - We know from thermodynamics that: \[ \Delta G = -RT \ln K \quad \text{and} \quad \Delta G = -nFE \] - Equating these two expressions gives: \[ -RT \ln K = -nFE \implies \ln K = \frac{nFE}{RT} \] - Converting natural logarithm to base 10 logarithm: \[ \ln K = 2.303 \log K \implies \log K = \frac{nFE}{2.303RT} \] - Thus, the first statement is **correct**. 2. **Evaluate the Second Statement:** - The second statement describes an electrochemical cell where zinc is the anode and copper is the cathode. It states: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ - \frac{0.591}{n} \log \left(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\right) \] - In a standard electrochemical cell, the equation should be: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \left(\frac{[\text{products}]}{[\text{reactants}]}\right) \] - Here, \( A_1 \) should represent the concentration of the cathode and \( A_2 \) the concentration of the anode. The statement incorrectly places them, making it **incorrect**. 3. **Evaluate the Third Statement:** - The third statement asserts: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \left(\frac{\text{products}}{\text{reactants}}\right) \] - This is consistent with the Nernst equation, which is correctly formulated. Thus, this statement is **correct**. 4. **Evaluate the Fourth Statement:** - The fourth statement involves the electrode reaction: \[ E = E^\circ + 0.0591 \log [M^{n+}] \] - The correct form for a reduction reaction is: \[ E = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \left[\frac{1}{[M^{n+}]}\right] \] - This can be rearranged to: \[ E = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log [M^{n+}] \] - Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. ### Conclusion: The incorrect relationship among the statements is the **second statement**, which misrepresents the concentrations of the anode and cathode in the Nernst equation.

To solve the problem of identifying the incorrect relationship among the given statements related to electrochemistry, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the First Statement:** - The first statement claims that the equilibrium constant \( K \) is related to the electromotive force (emf) as: \[ \log K = \frac{nFE}{2.303RT} ...
