The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the electromotive force (emf) for each of the three galvanic cells using the Nernst equation. The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \left( \frac{[Ox]}{[Red]} \right) \] Where: - \( E^{\circ}_{cell} \) is the standard cell potential (which we will assume to be 0 for simplicity in this case). - \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the redox reaction. - \([Ox]\) is the concentration of the oxidized species (anode). - \([Red]\) is the concentration of the reduced species (cathode). ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and the concentrations for each cell. 1. **Cell I:** - Anode: \( Zn(s) \rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq) \) (0.1 M) - Cathode: \( Cu^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow Cu(s) \) (1 M) - Concentration of anode = 0.1 M, concentration of cathode = 1 M. 2. **Cell II:** - Anode: \( Zn(s) \rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq) \) (1 M) - Cathode: \( Cu^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow Cu(s) \) (1 M) - Concentration of anode = 1 M, concentration of cathode = 1 M. 3. **Cell III:** - Anode: \( Zn(s) \rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq) \) (1 M) - Cathode: \( Cu^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow Cu(s) \) (0.1 M) - Concentration of anode = 1 M, concentration of cathode = 0.1 M. ### Step 2: Calculate \( E_{cell} \) for each galvanic cell. 1. **For Cell I:** - \( n = 2 \) (2 electrons transferred) - \( E_{cell} = 0 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \left( \frac{0.1}{1} \right) \) - \( E_{cell} = -0.02955 \log(0.1) \) - \( \log(0.1) = -1 \) - \( E_{cell} = -0.02955 \times (-1) = 0.02955 \, V \) 2. **For Cell II:** - \( n = 2 \) - \( E_{cell} = 0 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \left( \frac{1}{1} \right) \) - \( E_{cell} = -0.02955 \log(1) \) - \( \log(1) = 0 \) - \( E_{cell} = 0 \) 3. **For Cell III:** - \( n = 2 \) - \( E_{cell} = 0 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \left( \frac{1}{0.1} \right) \) - \( E_{cell} = -0.02955 \log(10) \) - \( \log(10) = 1 \) - \( E_{cell} = -0.02955 \times 1 = -0.02955 \, V \) ### Step 3: Compare the values of \( E_{cell} \). - \( E_1 = 0.02955 \, V \) - \( E_2 = 0 \, V \) - \( E_3 = -0.02955 \, V \) ### Step 4: Determine the order of the emfs. From the calculated values, we can conclude: - \( E_1 > E_2 > E_3 \) Thus, the order of the emfs is \( E_1 > E_2 > E_3 \).

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the electromotive force (emf) for each of the three galvanic cells using the Nernst equation. The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \left( \frac{[Ox]}{[Red]} \right) \] Where: - \( E^{\circ}_{cell} \) is the standard cell potential (which we will assume to be 0 for simplicity in this case). - \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the redox reaction. - \([Ox]\) is the concentration of the oxidized species (anode). ...
