A galvanic cell is constructed as follows: Zn|Zn\(^{2+}\) (0.010 M) || Cu\(^{2+}\) (0.10 M)|Cu. Standard reduction potentials are \(E^\circ_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}=+0.34\) V and \(E^\circ_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76\) V. (a) Calculate the cell potential at 25 °C using the Nernst equation. (b) If the cell is allowed to run until the Zn\(^{2+}\) concentration rises to 0.10 M (Cu\(^{2+}\) remains at 0.10 M), what is the new cell potential? Assume temperature stays at 25 °C.

Answer Options

A. Initial E ≈ 0.98 V; after equilibration E = 0.95 V
B. Initial E ≈ 1.20 V; after equilibration E = 1.15 V
C. Initial E ≈ 1.05 V; after equilibration E = 1.02 V
Correct Answer D. Initial E ≈ 1.13 V; after equilibration E = 1.10 V
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Initial E ≈ 1.13 V; after equilibration E = 1.10 V
