Question

A Daniell cell operates with standard cell EMF 1.10 V at 298 K (use the factor 0.0591 V for 2.303RT/F). The zinc electrode is in 0.1 M Zn2+ and the copper electrode in 0.001 M Cu2+. The cell reaction is Zn(s) + Cu2+ -> Zn2+ + Cu(s) with n = 2. Compute the cell EMF in volts, rounded to 4 decimal places.

✓ Verified answer: 1.0409checked by our engine — not a guess

Step-by-step solution

Nernst: E = E0 - (0.0591/n) log([Zn2+]/[Cu2+]). Q = 0.1/0.001 = 100, log Q = 2. E = 1.10 - (0.0591/2)(2) = 1.10 - 0.0591 = 1.0409 V. Final answer: 1.0409
