The correct Answer is:
To determine the cell in which the electromotive force (EMF) is independent of the concentration of the species, we will analyze the options given in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A **Cell Reaction:** Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ (oxidation) and Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Ni (reduction) - **Anode Reaction:** Fe oxidizes to Fe²⁺, releasing 2 electrons. - **Cathode Reaction:** Ni²⁺ gains 2 electrons to become Ni. - **Net Reaction:** Fe + Ni²⁺ → Fe²⁺ + Ni In this case, the EMF depends on the concentrations of Fe²⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions. Therefore, **EMF is dependent on concentration**. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B **Cell Reaction:** H₂ + Cl₂ → 2H⁺ + 2Cl⁻ - **Anode Reaction:** H₂ → 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ (oxidation) - **Cathode Reaction:** Cl₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Cl⁻ (reduction) This reaction involves gases (H₂ and Cl₂) and the EMF is determined by the partial pressures of the gases rather than their concentrations in solution. Therefore, **EMF is independent of concentration**. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C **Cell Reaction:** Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ (oxidation) and Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu (reduction) - **Anode Reaction:** Zn oxidizes to Zn²⁺, releasing 2 electrons. - **Cathode Reaction:** Cu²⁺ gains 2 electrons to become Cu. - **Net Reaction:** Zn + Cu²⁺ → Zn²⁺ + Cu In this case, the EMF depends on the concentrations of Zn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions. Therefore, **EMF is dependent on concentration**. ### Step 4: Analyze Option D **Cell Reaction:** Hg + Ag⁺ → Hg²⁺ + Ag - **Anode Reaction:** Hg → Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ (oxidation) - **Cathode Reaction:** Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag (reduction) This reaction also depends on the concentrations of Hg²⁺ and Ag⁺ ions. Therefore, **EMF is dependent on concentration**. ### Conclusion From the analysis, we find that only **Option B** (H₂ + Cl₂ → 2H⁺ + 2Cl⁻) is the cell in which the EMF is independent of the concentration of the species. ### Final Answer **The cell EMF is independent of the concentration of the species in Option B.** ---

To determine the cell in which the electromotive force (EMF) is independent of the concentration of the species, we will analyze the options given in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A **Cell Reaction:** Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ (oxidation) and Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Ni (reduction) - **Anode Reaction:** Fe oxidizes to Fe²⁺, releasing 2 electrons. - **Cathode Reaction:** Ni²⁺ gains 2 electrons to become Ni. - **Net Reaction:** Fe + Ni²⁺ → Fe²⁺ + Ni ...
