For the given cell ,
`Cu(s)|Cu^(2+)(C_(1)M)||Cu^(2+)(C_(2)M)|Cu(S)` change in Gibbs energy `(Delta G)` is negative, if :

A

`C_(1)=C_(2)`

B

`C_(1)gtC_(2)`

C

`C_(2)gtC_(1)`

D

None of these.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
A concentration cell (reversible w.r.t. cation) is spontaneous `(DeltaGlt 0"or" E_("cell"gt0)` if `C_(2)gtC_(1)`
`E_("cell")=(0.0591)/(2)"log"(C_(2))/(C_(1)))`
If `C_(2)gtC_(1).E_("cell")gt0`
