The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the equation given and understand how to represent it graphically. The equation provided is: \[ E = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K \] Where: - \( E \) is the EMF of the cell. - \( E^\circ \) is the standard EMF. - \( n \) is the number of electrons transferred in the reaction. - \( K \) is the reaction quotient. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables:** - From the equation, we can identify that \( E \) (EMF of the cell) is dependent on \( \log K \) (the logarithm of the reaction quotient). 2. **Rearranging the Equation:** - The equation can be rearranged to fit the linear equation format \( Y = C - MX \): \[ E = E^\circ - \left(\frac{0.0591}{n}\right) \log K \] - Here, we can identify: - \( Y \) (dependent variable) = \( E \) (EMF of the cell) - \( C \) (intercept) = \( E^\circ \) (standard EMF) - \( M \) (slope) = \(-\frac{0.0591}{n}\) - \( X \) (independent variable) = \( \log K \) 3. **Determine the Slope:** - The slope \( M \) is negative since it is represented as \(-\frac{0.0591}{n}\). This indicates that as \( \log K \) increases, \( E \) decreases. 4. **Graphical Representation:** - On a graph, the Y-axis will represent the EMF of the cell (\( E \)), and the X-axis will represent \( \log K \). - The graph will have a negative slope, indicating that as the reaction quotient \( K \) increases, the EMF of the cell decreases. 5. **Finding the Correct Option:** - We need to identify the option that shows a negative slope. Based on the analysis: - Option A: Positive slope - Option B: Negative slope (correct option) - Option C: Zero slope - Option D: Positive slope - Therefore, the correct option is **Option B**.
