The correct Answer is:
To determine which option does not represent a concentration cell, we need to understand the characteristics of a concentration cell. A concentration cell is defined by having two half-cells that involve the same species but at different concentrations, and the reactions in the two half-cells are essentially reverse of each other. This means that the standard cell potential (E°) for a concentration cell is zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Concentration Cells**: - A concentration cell has two electrodes made of the same material but immersed in solutions of different concentrations. The reactions in the two compartments are opposite, leading to E° = 0. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - **Reactions**: - Cathodic reaction: \(2H^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow H_2\) - Anodic reaction: \(H_2 \rightarrow 2H^+ + 2e^-\) - **Conclusion**: The reactions are opposite, so this is a concentration cell. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - **Reactions**: - Cathodic reaction: \(Cl_2 + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Cl^-\) - Anodic reaction: \(H_2 \rightarrow 2H^+ + 2e^-\) - **Conclusion**: The reactions are not reverse of each other, so this does not represent a concentration cell. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - **Reactions**: - Cathodic reaction: \(Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu\) - Anodic reaction: \(Zn \rightarrow Zn^{2+} + 2e^-\) - **Conclusion**: The reactions are not reverse of each other, so this does not represent a concentration cell. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - **Reactions**: - Cathodic reaction: \(Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu\) - Anodic reaction: \(Fe \rightarrow Fe^{2+} + 2e^-\) - **Conclusion**: The reactions are not reverse of each other, so this does not represent a concentration cell. ### Final Answer: The options that do not represent a concentration cell are **B, C, and D**.
