For the cell \(Ni(s)\ |\ Ni^{2+}\ (0.1M)\ ||\ Cu^{2+}\ (0.1M)\ |\ Cu(s)\), the cell potential will increase when :
- A \(Ni^{2+}\) ion concentration is increased
- B \(Cu^{2+}\) ion concentration is decreased
- C \(Cu^{2+}\) ion concentration is increased
- D Temperature of the cell is decreased
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(Cu^{2+}\) ion concentration is increased
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Cell reaction: \(Ni(s) + Cu^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow Ni^{2+}(aq) + Cu(s)\) Nernst equation: \(E_{cell} = E^0_{cell} - \frac{0.0592}{n} \log \frac{[Ni^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}\) To increase \(E_{cell}\), the term \(-\frac{0.0592}{n} \log \frac{[Ni^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}\) must increase (become…

Second period elements of p-Block differs from the rest of their group members due to their small atomic size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals. The elements from the second period like C, N, O have unique property of forming \(p \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds whereas other heavier elements of p-block form \(d \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds. This changes the properties of second period elements to great extent. Also the single bond strength of the p-block elements with their own atoms gets affected by their atomic size and presence of lone pairs.
Inert pair effect also affects the properties of the p-Block elements especially for those elements which are present from 4th period onward and this happens due to poor screening effect of inner (n-1)d subshell electrons.
