The standard emf for cell,
\(\Theta_{\mathrm{Cd}_{(\mathrm{s})}}\left|\mathrm{Cd}^{+2}(1 \mathrm{M})\right|\left|\mathrm{Cu}^{+2}(1 \mathrm{M})\right| \mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{s})}^{\oplus}\)
is 0.74 V . If concentration of \(\mathrm{Cd}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+2}\) and \(\mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+2}\) decreases by 10 times at 298 K . Calculate emf of cell.

  1. A \(+0.074 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(+0.850 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(+0.680 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(+0.740 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(+0.740 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Q = \frac{[\mathrm{Cd}^{+2}]}{[\mathrm{Cu}^{+2}]} = \frac{0.1}{0.1} = 1\) \(E_{\mathrm{cell}} = E^\circ - \frac{0.0592}{n} \log Q\)
