Which of the following will increase the voltage of the cell?
`Sn(s) ^(+) 2Ag^(+) (aq) rarr Sn^(2+) (aq) +2 Ag(s)`

A

Increase in the size of silver rod

B

Increase in the conc. Of `Sn^(2+)` ions

C

Increase in the concentration of `Ag^(+)` ions

D

decrease in the concentration of `Ag^(+)` ions

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since reduction occurs at Ag electrode. Hence increase in the conc. Of `Ag^(+)` or decrease in conc. Of `Sn^(2+)` wil increase the voltage.
