A galvanic cell has `E_(cell)^(@)=1.5" V"`. If an opposing potential of `1.5" V"` is applied to cell, what will happen to the cell reaction and current flowing through the cell ?
On applying opposing potential, reaction continues to take palce till the magnitude of opposing e.m.f. reaches the value of 1.1" V". After this , reaction stops and no further reaction will take place.
Correct Answer - c
`Cu^(2+)+2e^(-)rarrCu,E^(@)=+0.337V`
`Zn^(2)++2e^(-)rarrZn,E^(@)=-0.763V`
In the cell `Cu|Cu^(2+)||Zn^(2+)||Zn`
`E_("cell")=E_("cathode")^(@)-E_("anode")^(@)`
`=-0.763(+0.337)=-1.10`
The relation may be given as :
`DeltaG=-nFE_(cell)`
If the redox reaction is under standard conditions, then
`DeltaG^(@)=-nFE_(cell)^(@)`
Here nF is the quantity of charge passed. In case we want...
