The EMF of the cell Tl / Tl ⁺(0.001 M ) | Cu ²⁺(0.01 M ) / Cu is 0.83 . The cell EMF can be increased by
Options
- AIncreasing the concentration of Tl ⁺ ions.
- BIncreasing the concentration of Cu ²⁺ ions.
- CIncreasing the concentration of Tl ⁺ and Cu ²⁺ ions.
- DNone of these
Correct answer
B. Increasing the concentration of Cu ²⁺ ions.
Step-by-step solution
The oxidation potential 1 Concentration of ions and reduction potential concentration of ions. The cell voltage can be increased by decreasing the concentration of ions around anode or by increasing the concentration of ions around cathode
