Concept introduction:
Standard reduction potential: The voltage associated with a reduction reaction at an electrode when all solutes are 1M and all gases are at 1 atm. The hydrogen electrode is called the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE).
Standard emf:
Where both
Effect of concentration on cell Emf:
The mathematical relationship between the emf of galvanic cell and the concentration of reactants and products in a
As known
Dividing by –nF, the above equation becomes,
Nernst equation: The Nernst equation is used to calculate the cell voltage under nonstandard-state conditions.

Explanation of Solution
Calculation of standard emf
A Daniel (Galvanic cell) cell consists of Zinc electrode in
The cell diagram as follows,
At Anode, possible oxidation process occurs as follows,
At Cathode, possible reduction process occurs as follows,
Hence, the standard emf of the cell reaction are,
Therefore, the standard emf
As the concentration of given ions are nonstandard concentrations, the reaction spontaneity is determined by emf of a given galvanic reaction using Nernst equation.
Calculation of non-standard emf value using Nernst equation:
The reaction quotient for the given reaction is,
The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids do not appear in the expression for Q.
Hence, the reaction quotient becomes,
As to know the concentration of
