Q. For Daniell cell,

$Zn\left(\right.s\left.\right)+Cu^{2 +}\left(\right.aq\left.\right)\rightleftharpoons Cu\left(\right.s\left.\right)+Zn^{2 +}\left(\right.aq\left.\right)$

The reaction quotient Q is given by

$Q=\frac{\left[\right. Z n^{2 +} \left]\right.}{\left[\right. C u^{2 +} \left]\right.}$

Question

OA = 1.10 volt

Where $E_{c e l l}=1.1591$ volt, then

Solution:

$E=E^\circ -\frac{0.059}{n}log_{10}Q$

For Daniell cell, $E^\circ =1.10$ V (equal to OA)

$E=1.10-\frac{0.059}{2}log0.01$

$=+1.159$ V
