The correct Answer is:
To calculate the EMF of a Daniel cell with given concentrations of ZnSO₄ and CuSO₄, we can use the Nernst equation. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Given Data - Concentration of Zn²⁺ (from ZnSO₄) = 0.001 M - Concentration of Cu²⁺ (from CuSO₄) = 0.1 M - Standard cell potential (E°cell) = 1.1 V ### Step 2: Write the Nernst Equation The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \left( \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]} \right) \] where: - \( E_{cell} \) is the cell potential (EMF). - \( E^{\circ}_{cell} \) is the standard cell potential. - \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction. ### Step 3: Determine the Number of Electrons Transferred In the Daniel cell reaction: \[ Zn \rightarrow Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-} \] \[ Cu^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Cu \] The number of electrons (n) transferred is 2. ### Step 4: Substitute the Values into the Nernst Equation Now we can substitute the known values into the Nernst equation: \[ E_{cell} = 1.1 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \left( \frac{0.001}{0.1} \right) \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Logarithmic Term Calculate the logarithmic term: \[ \frac{0.001}{0.1} = 0.01 \] \[ \log(0.01) = -2 \] ### Step 6: Substitute the Logarithmic Value into the Equation Now substitute this back into the equation: \[ E_{cell} = 1.1 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \times (-2) \] \[ E_{cell} = 1.1 + 0.0591 \] \[ E_{cell} = 1.1 + 0.0591 = 1.1591 \, V \] ### Step 7: Final Answer Thus, the EMF of the Daniel cell is approximately: \[ E_{cell} \approx 1.16 \, V \] ---
