Chapter 18, Problem 18.56QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: If concentrations of both ${\text{Cu}}^{2+}$ and ${\text{Zn}}^{2+}$ are $\text{0}\text{.25}\text{M}$, the prediction about the potential of $\text{Cu}-\text{Zn}$ cell is to stated.

Concept introduction: Nernst equation relates the cell potential of a half cell reaction to its standard potential and to the concentrations of its reactanst and products.

To determine: If the potential of $\text{Cu}-\text{Zn}$ cell will differ from $\text{1}\text{.10}\text{V}$ if concentrations of both ${\text{Cu}}^{2+}$ and ${\text{Zn}}^{2+}$ are $\text{0}\text{.25}\text{M}$.
