Chapter 19, Problem 19.117QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The cell potential (EMF) of given voltaic cell should be calculated by using standard reduction potentials and effect of cell potential in given conditions should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Cell potential (EMF):

The maximum potential difference between two electrodes of voltaic cell is known as cell potential.

If standard reduction potentials of electrodes are given the cell potential (EMF) is given by,

${\text{E}}_{\text{cell}}\text{=}{\text{E}}_{\text{cathode}}{\text{-E}}_{\text{anode}}$

Where,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text{E}}_{\text{cathode}}\text{is}\text{the}\text{reduction}\text{half}\text{cell potential}\\ {\text{E}}_{\text{anode}}\text{is}\text{the}\text{oxidation}\text{half}\text{cell potential}\end{array}$
