The standard emf of a cell Zn / Zn ²⁺ | Fe ²⁺ / Fe , if electrode potentials for ( Zn / Zn ²⁺ ) and ( Fe ²⁺ / Fe ) and 0.763 V and -0.44 V respectively is
Options
- A+ 0.323 V
- B-1.203 ~V
- C+ 1.203 V
- D-0.323 ~V
Correct answer
A. + 0.323 V
Step-by-step solution
Cell Zn | Zn ²⁺ | Fe ²⁺ | Fe Electrode potential for Zn / Zn ²⁺=0.763 ~V Electrode potential for aligned & Fe ²⁺ / Fe =-0.44 ~V EMF of cell & =E_ oxidation ( Fe ) ^ +E_ reduction ( Zn ) ^ & =-0.44+0.763 & =0.323 ~V aligned
