A button cell used in watches function as following. \(Zn_{(s)} + Ag_2O_{(s)} + H_2O_{(l)} \rightleftharpoons  \)\(2Ag_{(s)} + Zn^{2+}_{(aq)}+ 2OH^-_{(aq)}\) If half cell potentials are \(Zn^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^- \rightarrow Zn_{(s)}\,;\,\, E^o = - 0.76\, V\) \(Ag_2O_{(s)} + H_2O_{(l)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Ag_{(s)} + 2OH^-_{(aq)}\,,\)\(E^o = 0.34\, V\) The cell potential will be ........... \(V.\)

  1. A \(0.84\)
  2. B \(1.34\)
  3. C \(1.10\)
  4. D \(0.42\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ} =E_{\text {O.P. }}^{\circ}+E^{\circ}_{\mathrm{RP.}}\) \(=0.76+0.34=1.10 \mathrm{V} \)
