Standard potential \(\left(\mathrm{E}^*\right)\) of \(\mathrm{Zn}^{+2}{ }_{(a q)}+2 \overline{\mathrm{e}} \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}_{(s)}\) is -0.76 V .
What is standard potential of reaction \(2 \mathrm{Zn}_{(\mathrm{s})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Zn}^{+2}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}+4 \overline{\mathrm{e}}\) ?

  1. A \(-1.52 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(+1.52 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(-0.76 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(+0.76 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(+0.76 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{Zn}_{(s)} \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{+2}{ }_{(a q)}+2 \overline{\mathrm{e}} \) \( \mathrm{E}^* = -(-0.76 \mathrm{~V}) = +0.76 \mathrm{~V} \)
