CUET · CHEMISTRY · PYQ PAPER 2023

The electrochemical cells \(Zn \left| Zn ^{2+} \| Cu ^{2+}\right| Cu\) and \(Fe ^{-} Fe ^{2+} \| Cu ^{2+} \mid Cu\) are connected in series. What will be the net emf of the cell at \(25^{\circ} C\) ? Given: \(E ^{\circ}\) of \(Zn ^{2+} \mid Zn =-0.76 V ; \quad E ^{\circ}\) of \(Cu ^{2+} \mid Cu =+0.34 V ; \quad E ^{\circ}\) of \(Fe ^{2+} \mid Fe =-0.41 V\)

  1. A +1.85 V
  2. B -1.85 V
  3. C +0.83 V
  4. D -0.83 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) +1.85 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E^{\circ}_{cell1} = E^{\circ}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} - E^{\circ}_{Zn^{2+}/Zn} = +0.34 V - (-0.76 V) = +1.10 V\) \(E^{\circ}_{cell2} = E^{\circ}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} - E^{\circ}_{Fe^{2+}/Fe} = +0.34 V - (-0.41 V) = +0.75 V\)…
