Chapter 17, Problem 46QRT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $E_{\text{cell}}^{\text{ο}}$ for the given cell has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Cell potential can be used to tell the possibility of the reaction to occur. The reactions having a positive value of $E_{\text{cell}}$ will proceed in the forward direction whereas those having negative value of $E_{\text{cell}}$ proceed in backward direction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of ${\text{Zn}}^{\text{2+}}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $E_{\text{cell}}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
