Which is proper value of x for the following to increase cell potential of \(Zn _{( s )}\left| Zn _{( xM )}^{2+}\right|\left| Cu _{(0.02 M )}^{2+}\right| Cu _{( s )}\) ?

  1. A \(x=0.02 M\)
  2. B \(x<0.02 M\)
  3. C \(x>0.02 M\)
  4. D \(x \geq 0.02 M\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x<0.02 M\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

B
\(E_{\text {cell }}=E_{\text {cell }}^0-\frac{0.059}{n} \log \frac{x}{0.02}\)
If \(x<0.02 M\) then \(\log <1\) So \(E _{\text {cell }}\) increase.
