Under standard conditions, the galvanic cell shown above has a cell potential of+1.56 V using the reaction given. The salt bridge contains KNO3, which allows K+ ions and NO, ions to move in the directions indicated. If KNO3 in the salt bridge is replaced with KOH, some Zn(OH), (s) precipitates in the Zn-Zn(NO,), half-cell. Which of the following best explains how the cell potential is affected as Zn(OH), (s) starts to precipitate, and why? The cell potential increases because the concentration of Zn2+(ag) decreases and Q. ,becomes smaller. |Ag"* The cell potential decreases because the concentration of Zn2+ (aq) decreases and Q, Zn2 becomes smaller. The cell potential increases because Kt ions replace Zn?+ ions and the reduction of K* is more thermodynamically favored than the reduction of Zn?+. D The cell potential stays the same because Zn(OH), (s) is not part of the redox reaction responsible for the operation of the galvanic cel.
