For the reaction
Zn(s) + Cu2+ (aq) \(\text { ⇌ }\) Cu(s) + Zn2+ (aq)
Reaction Quotient = \(\frac{\left[\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\right]},\) variation of Ecell with Q is given by
(where Q = concentration quotient)
OA = 1.10 volts, hence
When Ecell is 1.1591 and concentration ratio is, \(\frac{\left[\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\right]}=10^{-2}\) it implies,
- T = 273 ºC
- T = 298 ºC
- T = 298 K
- T = 300 K
Answer
(C) T = 298 K
