The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electrochemical cell given by the notation: **Cell Notation: TI | TI^(o+) (10^(-3) M) || Cu^(2+) (10^(-1) M) | Cu** ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions In the given cell, we have two half-reactions: 1. At the anode (oxidation): \[ \text{TI} \rightarrow \text{TI}^{+} + e^{-} \] 2. At the cathode (reduction): \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Cu} \] ### Step 2: Balance the half-reactions To balance the number of electrons transferred, we multiply the anode reaction by 2: \[ 2 \text{TI} \rightarrow 2 \text{TI}^{+} + 2e^{-} \] Now, the overall balanced reaction is: \[ 2 \text{TI} + \text{Cu}^{2+} \rightarrow 2 \text{TI}^{+} + \text{Cu} \] ### Step 3: Write the Nernst equation The Nernst equation for the cell can be expressed as: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log Q \] Where: - \(E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}}\) is the standard cell potential. - \(n\) is the number of moles of electrons transferred (which is 2). - \(Q\) is the reaction quotient. ### Step 4: Determine the reaction quotient \(Q\) For the reaction: \[ Q = \frac{[\text{TI}^{+}]^2}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]} \] Given the concentrations: - \([\text{TI}^{+}] = 10^{-3} \, M\) - \([\text{Cu}^{2+}] = 10^{-1} \, M\) Substituting these values into \(Q\): \[ Q = \frac{(10^{-3})^2}{(10^{-1})} = \frac{10^{-6}}{10^{-1}} = 10^{-5} \] ### Step 5: Analyze how to increase \(E_{\text{cell}}\) To increase \(E_{\text{cell}}\), we need to decrease the value of \(Q\) in the logarithmic term of the Nernst equation. This can be achieved by: - **Decreasing \([\text{Cu}^{2+}]\)**: This will decrease the denominator in \(Q\), thus increasing \(E_{\text{cell}}\). - **Increasing \([\text{TI}^{+}]\)**: This will increase the numerator in \(Q\), thus decreasing \(Q\) and increasing \(E_{\text{cell}}\). ### Step 6: Evaluate the options Given the options: - a. Decreasing \([\text{Cu}^{2+}]\) → Increases \(E_{\text{cell}}\) - b. Decreasing \([\text{TI}^{+}]\) → Decreases \(E_{\text{cell}}\) - c. Increasing \([\text{Cu}^{2+}]\) → Decreases \(E_{\text{cell}}\) - d. Increasing \([\text{TI}^{+}]\) → Increases \(E_{\text{cell}}\) ### Conclusion The correct options that can increase \(E_{\text{cell}}\) are: - **a. Decreasing \([\text{Cu}^{2+}]\)** - **d. Increasing \([\text{TI}^{+}]\)** ### Final Answer The options that can increase \(E_{\text{cell}}\) are **a** and **d**. ---
