The correct Answer is:
To determine in which of the following cells \(E_{\text{cell}} = E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}\), we will use the Nernst equation: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_c \] Where: - \(E_{\text{cell}}\) is the cell potential under non-standard conditions. - \(E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}\) is the standard cell potential. - \(n\) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction. - \(K_c\) is the equilibrium constant. For \(E_{\text{cell}} = E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}\), the term \(-\frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_c\) must equal zero. This occurs when: \[ \log K_c = 0 \implies K_c = 1 \] Now, we will analyze each option to find if \(K_c = 1\). ### Option A: - Concentration of \(Cu^{2+}\) = 0.01 M - Concentration of \(Ag^{+}\) = 0.1 M The equilibrium constant \(K_c\) for the reaction can be expressed as: \[ K_c = \frac{[Cu^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2} \] Substituting the values: \[ K_c = \frac{0.01}{(0.1)^2} = \frac{0.01}{0.01} = 1 \] Since \(K_c = 1\), \(E_{\text{cell}} = E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}\). **Option A is correct.** ### Option B: - Concentration of \(H^{+}\) is given in terms of pH = 1, thus \( [H^{+}] = 10^{-1} = 0.1 \) M. - Concentration of \(Zn^{2+}\) = 0.01 M. The equilibrium constant \(K_c\) is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[H^{+}]^2}{[Zn^{2+}]} \] Substituting the values: \[ K_c = \frac{(0.1)^2}{0.01} = \frac{0.01}{0.01} = 1 \] Since \(K_c = 1\), \(E_{\text{cell}} = E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}\). **Option B is correct.** ### Option C: - Concentration of \(H^{+}\) (pH = 1) = 0.1 M. - Concentration of \(Zn^{2+}\) = 1 M. The equilibrium constant \(K_c\) is: \[ K_c = \frac{[H^{+}]^2}{[Zn^{2+}]} \] Substituting the values: \[ K_c = \frac{(0.1)^2}{1} = \frac{0.01}{1} = 0.01 \] Since \(K_c \neq 1\), \(E_{\text{cell}} \neq E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}\). **Option C is incorrect.** ### Option D: - Concentration of \(H^{+}\) = 0.01 M. - Concentration of \(Zn^{2+}\) = 0.01 M. The equilibrium constant \(K_c\) is: \[ K_c = \frac{[H^{+}]^2}{[Zn^{2+}]} \] Substituting the values: \[ K_c = \frac{(0.01)^2}{0.01} = \frac{0.0001}{0.01} = 0.01 \] Since \(K_c \neq 1\), \(E_{\text{cell}} \neq E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}\). **Option D is incorrect.** ### Conclusion: The correct options where \(E_{\text{cell}} = E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ}\) are **Option A and Option B.** ---
