To find the EMF of the given electrode concentration cell at 25°C, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Anodic and Cathodic Reactions In the given concentration cell, we have two compartments with different concentrations of zinc amalgam. The anodic reaction (oxidation) occurs at the anode, and the cathodic reaction (reduction) occurs at the cathode. **Anodic Reaction:** \[ \text{Zn}_{(C_1)} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} + 2e^- \] ...

Calculate the EMF of the electrode concentration cell Hg-Zn (c_(1)M)|(Zn^(2+)(c M)| Hg-Zn (c_(2)M) at 25^(@)C , if the concentration of the zinc amalgam are 2 g per 100 g of mercury and 1g per 100 g of mercury in anode and cathode half-cell respectively.

In a concentration cell, Zn|Zn^(2+) (0.1M) || Zn^(2+) (0.15M) | Zn , as the cell discharges:

Zn|Zn^(2+)(C_1)||Zn^(2+)(C_2)|Zn . For this cell Delta G is negative if

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

Zn|Zn^(2+)(c_1M)||Zn^(2+)(c_2M)|Zn . For this cell, DeltaG would be negative , if :

What will happen to the value of emf of the following cell if the cencentration of the electrolyte in the anode compartment is increased ? Zn | Zn^(2+)(0.1 M)||Cu^(2+)(0.1 M) Cu .
