Given concentration cell `Zn//Zn^(2+) (1M) //Zn^(2+) (0.15M) //Z`
Calculate E cell. As the cell discharges, does the difference in concentrations between the two solutions become smaller or larger?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At anode `Zn to Zn^(2+) (I M) +2e`
At cathode `Zn^(2+) (0.15M) +2e to Zn`
Overall reaction `Zn^(2+) (0.15M) to Zn^(2+) (I M)`
E cell `=E^(@)" cell "(0.059)/(2) log ""(1)//(0.15)`
For a concentration cell, `E_("cell")^(@)=0`
E cell `=-0.0295 xx 0.825 V=-0.0224`
As the cell discharges, the reaction proceeds to the left, that is, the IM zinc ions is used and 0.15M zinc is produced. Thus, the two solutions approach each other in concentration.

Galvanic cells generate electrical energy at the expense of a spontaneous redox reaction. In an electrode concentration cell two like electrodes having different concentrations, either because they are gas electrodes operating at different pressures or because they are amalgams (solutions in mercury) with different concentrations are dipped into the same solution. Eg. An example is a cell composed of two chlorine electrodes with different pressure of Cl_(2) : Pt_(L)|Cl_(2)(P_(L))|HCl(aq)|Cl_(2)(P_(R))|Pt_(R) Where P_(L) and P_(R) are the Cl_(2) pressure at the left and right electrodes. Calculate the EMF of the electrode concentration cell represented by : Hg-Zn(c_(1))|Zn^(+2)(aq)|Hg-Zn(c_(2)) At 25^(@)C.c_(1)=2g of Zn per 100g of Hg and c_(2)=1g of Zn per 50g of Hg
