The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the electrochemical cell given as `Zn|Zn^(2+)||H^(+) |(H_(2))Pt`, we need to determine the conditions under which the cell potential \( E_{cell} \) is equal to the standard cell potential \( E^{\circ}_{cell} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Electrochemical Cell**: - The cell consists of zinc (Zn) as the anode and hydrogen (H\(_2\)) as the cathode. - The half-reactions are: - Anode (oxidation): \( \text{Zn} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} + 2e^- \) - Cathode (reduction): \( 2\text{H}^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{H}_2 \) 2. **Net Reaction**: - The overall reaction for the cell can be written as: \[ \text{Zn} + 2\text{H}^+ \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} + \text{H}_2 \] 3. **Nernst Equation**: - The Nernst equation relates the cell potential to the standard cell potential and the reaction quotient \( Q \): \[ E_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.059}{n} \log Q \] - Here, \( n = 2 \) (number of electrons transferred). 4. **Calculating the Reaction Quotient \( Q \)**: - The reaction quotient \( Q \) for the given reaction is defined as: \[ Q = \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{H}^+]^2 \cdot P_{\text{H}_2}} \] - Where \( P_{\text{H}_2} \) is the partial pressure of hydrogen gas. 5. **Condition for \( E_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cell} \)**: - For \( E_{cell} \) to equal \( E^{\circ}_{cell} \), \( Q \) must equal 1: \[ Q = 1 \implies \frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{H}^+]^2 \cdot P_{\text{H}_2}} = 1 \] 6. **Analyzing the Given Options**: - **Option 1**: \( [\text{Zn}^{2+}] = 1 \, \text{M}, [\text{H}^+] = 1 \, \text{M}, P_{\text{H}_2} = 1 \, \text{atm} \) \[ Q = \frac{1}{1^2 \cdot 1} = 1 \quad \text{(Valid)} \] - **Option 2**: \( [\text{Zn}^{2+}] = 0.01 \, \text{M}, [\text{H}^+] = 0.1 \, \text{M}, P_{\text{H}_2} = 1 \, \text{atm} \) \[ Q = \frac{0.01}{(0.1)^2 \cdot 1} = \frac{0.01}{0.01} = 1 \quad \text{(Valid)} \] - **Option 3**: \( [\text{Zn}^{2+}] = 1 \, \text{M}, [\text{H}^+] = 0.1 \, \text{M}, P_{\text{H}_2} = 100 \, \text{atm} \) \[ Q = \frac{1}{(0.1)^2 \cdot 100} = \frac{1}{1} = 1 \quad \text{(Valid)} \] - **None of the Above**: This option is not applicable as we have valid conditions. 7. **Conclusion**: - The conditions under which \( E_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cell} \) are satisfied by options 1 and 2. ### Final Answer: - The correct options are **1 and 2**.
