The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electrochemical cell represented and understand how the changes in the weight of the electrodes affect the cell potential (E_cell). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Cell Components**: The cell is represented as: \[ \text{Cu(10g)} | \text{CuSO}_4 \text{(C}_1\text{)} || \text{ZnSO}_4 \text{(C}_2\text{)} | \text{Zn(10g)} \] Here, we have copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) electrodes with their respective weights and concentrations of their sulfate solutions. 2. **Understand the Effect of Weight on E_cell**: The problem states that the weight of the copper and zinc electrodes is doubled in the second cell: \[ \text{Cu(20g)} | \text{CuSO}_4 \text{(C}_1\text{)} || \text{ZnSO}_4 \text{(C}_2\text{)} | \text{Zn(20g)} \] However, the concentrations \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) remain unchanged. 3. **Use the Nernst Equation**: The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} - \frac{0.059}{n} \log \left( \frac{[\text{products}]}{[\text{reactants}]} \right) \] In this case, the concentrations of the solutions are the same for both cells, which means that the logarithmic term will not change. 4. **Conclusion on E_cell**: Since the concentrations \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are the same in both scenarios, the E_cell will remain unchanged despite the increase in the weight of the electrodes. Therefore, we can conclude: \[ E_{\text{cell}} \text{ for the second cell} = E_{\text{cell}} \text{ for the first cell} \] Hence, if the E_cell for the first cell is \(E_V\), the E_cell for the second cell will also be \(E_V\). ### Final Answer: The E_cell for the cell with \(Cu(20g)\) and \(Zn(20g)\) is \(E_V\).
