`Zn(s)+Cl_(2)(1atm)toZn^(2+)+2Cl^(-)`. `E_(cell)^(o)` of the cell is 2.12 V. To increase E

A

`[Zn^(2+)]` should be increased

B

`[Zn^(2+)]` should be decreased

C

`[Cl^(-)]` should be decreased

D

`P_(Cl_2)` should be decreased

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
`E_("cell")=overset(0)E_("cell")-(0.0591)/nlog""([Zn^(2+)][Cl^(-2)])/(P_(Cl_2))`
To increase , `E_("cell"), [Zn^(2+)]` cell should decrease, `[Cl^(-)]` should decrease and `P_(Cl_2)` should increase.
