Correct answer: C
- Write the cell reaction
For the Daniell cell:
The overall reaction is:
Here, number of electrons transferred is
- Condition for complete discharge
When the cell is completely discharged, it can no longer produce emf, so:
Use the Nernst equation:
At and for this reaction,
So at complete discharge:
0=1.10-\frac{0.0591}{2}\log\left(\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}}\right)
Thus,
\frac{0.0591}{2}\log\left(\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}}\right)=1.10
\log\left(\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}}\right)=\frac{2\times 1.10}{0.0591}
\log\left(\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}}\right)\approx 37.3
Therefore,
\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}}=\text{antilog}(37.3)=10^{37.3}
- Match with options
Option C is written as (the formatting in the options seems compressed as 1037.3).
So the correct option is:
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: C
Derived answer: C
They agree.
