The correct Answer is:
To find the EMF of the Daniel cell using the given data, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Cell Configurations We have two arrangements of the Daniel cell with a N calomel electrode. The EMF values for these arrangements are given as: - Arrangement 1 (Zn | N calomel): EMF = 1.083 V - Arrangement 2 (Cu | N calomel): EMF = 0.018 V ### Step 2: Use the Standard Reduction Potential of N Calomel Electrode The standard reduction potential of the N calomel electrode is given as: - E°(N calomel) = 0.28 V ### Step 3: Calculate the Oxidation Potential of Zinc Electrode For the first arrangement (Zn | N calomel), we can write the equation for the cell EMF: \[ E_{cell} = E_{Zn}^{ox} + E_{N calomel}^{red} \] Where: - \( E_{Zn}^{ox} \) is the oxidation potential of the zinc electrode. - \( E_{N calomel}^{red} = 0.28 \, V \) From the given EMF: \[ 1.083 = E_{Zn}^{ox} + 0.28 \] Rearranging gives: \[ E_{Zn}^{ox} = 1.083 - 0.28 = 0.803 \, V \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Oxidation Potential of Copper Electrode For the second arrangement (Cu | N calomel), we can write the equation for the cell EMF: \[ E_{cell} = E_{Cu}^{ox} + E_{N calomel}^{red} \] Where: - \( E_{Cu}^{ox} \) is the oxidation potential of the copper electrode. From the given EMF: \[ 0.018 = E_{Cu}^{ox} + 0.28 \] Rearranging gives: \[ E_{Cu}^{ox} = 0.018 - 0.28 = -0.262 \, V \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Reduction Potential of Copper The reduction potential of copper can be calculated as: \[ E_{Cu}^{red} = -E_{Cu}^{ox} = -(-0.262) = 0.262 \, V \] ### Step 6: Calculate the EMF of the Daniel Cell The EMF of the Daniel cell can be calculated using the oxidation potential of zinc and the reduction potential of copper: \[ E_{Daniel} = E_{Zn}^{ox} + E_{Cu}^{red} \] Substituting the values: \[ E_{Daniel} = 0.803 + 0.262 = 1.065 \, V \] ### Final Answer The EMF of the Daniel cell is **1.065 V**. ---
