\(E_{1}, E_{2}\) and \(E_{3}\) are the emfs of the following three galvanic cells respectively.

  1. A \(E_{2}>E_{1}>E_{3}\)
  2. B \(E_{1}>E_{2}>E_{3}\)
  3. C \(E_{3}>E_{1}>E_{2}\)
  4. D \(E_{3}>E_{2}>E_{1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(E_{1}>E_{2}>E_{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E=E^{\circ}+\frac{0.059}{2} \log \frac{\left[\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\right]}\) \(\therefore \quad E_{1}>E_{2}>E_{3}\)
