How does E (cell) in a Daniell cell depend on the concentration of Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions?
Options
- AE (cell) increases with an increase in the concentration of Cu2+ ions and decrease in Zn2+ ions.
- BE (cell) decreases with an increase in the concentration of Cu2+ ions and decrease in Zn2+ ions.
- CE (cell) increases with an increase in both Cu2+ and Zn2+ ion concentrations.
- DE (cell) decreases with an increase in both Cu2+ and Zn2+ ion concentrations.
Correct answer
A. E (cell) increases with an increase in the concentration of Cu2+ ions and decrease in Zn2+ ions.
Step-by-step solution
The cell potential E (cell) in a Daniell cell increases with an increase in the concentration of Cu2+ ions and a decrease in the concentration of Zn2+ ions.
