A cell is formed by combining given electrodes with \(Zn ^{2+} \mid Zn ( s )\left(E^{\circ}=-0.76 V\right)\). Arrange the following in decreasing order of \(E _{\text {cell }}^{\circ}\).
Cell Notation: \(Zn ( s ) \mid Zn ^{2+} \|\) Given electrode
(A) \(Ag ^{+} \mid Ag ( s ): E^{\circ}=+0.80 V\)
(B) \(Na ^{+} \mid Na ( s ): E^{\circ}=-2.71 V\)
(C) \(Fe ^{2+} \mid Fe ( s ): E^{\circ}=-0.44 V\)
(D) \(Cu ^{+} \mid Cu ( s ): E^{\circ}=+0.52 V\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (D), (C), (B)
  2. B (A), (B), (C), (D)
  3. C (B), (C), (D), (A)
  4. D (C), (B), (D), (A)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A), (D), (C), (B)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{cathode}} - E^{\circ}_{\text{Zn}^{2+} \mid Zn} \) \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell, A}} = +0.80 - (-0.76) = +1.56 \, V \) \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell, B}} = -2.71 - (-0.76) = -1.95 \, V \)…
