The standard reduction potentials of \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\left|\mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\right| \mathrm{Cu}\) and \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+} \mid \mathrm{Cu}\) and \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+} \mid \mathrm{Ag}\) are respectively \(-0.76,0.34\) and \(0.8 \mathrm{~V}\). The following cells were constructed : (1) \(\mathrm{Zn}\left|\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\right|\left|\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\right| \mathrm{Cu}\) (2) \(\mathrm{Zn}\left|\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\right|\left|\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\right| \mathrm{Ag}\) (3) \(\mathrm{Cu}\left|\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} \| \mathrm{Ag}^{+}\right| \mathrm{Ag}\) What is the correct order of \(E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}\) of these cells?
- A \(2>3>1\)
- B \(2>1>3\)
- C \(1>2>3\)
- D \(3>1>2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(2>1>3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Zn} \quad E^{\circ}=-0.78 \mathrm{~V}\) \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu} \quad E^{\circ}=0.34 \mathrm{~V}\) \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ag} \quad E^{\circ}=0.8 \mathrm{~V}\) Cell reaction of (1) is…
