For a closed circuit Daniell cell, which of the following plots is the accurate one at a given temperature?
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
The standard cell potential E^ _ cell is a thermodynamic property defined for a cell under standard conditions (concentrations of all species at 1 M , pressure at 1 bar , and a specific temperature). For a Daniell cell, the reaction is Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s) . The standard cell potential is given by E^ _ cell = E^ _ Cu²⁺/Cu - E^ _ Zn²⁺/Zn . Since E^ _ cell depends only on the nature of the electrodes, the nature of the electrolytes, and the temperature, it remains constant over time as long as the temper
