    If the standard electrode potential for the cell \[Zn|Z{{n}^{2+}}(aq)||C{{u}^{2+}}(aq)|Cu\] is \[1.10V\]then the maximum work done by this cell will be

    A)  \[-106.15\text{ }kJ\]      

    B)  \[~-212.30\text{ }kJ\]

    C)  \[-318.45\text{ }kJ\]      

    D)  \[-424.60\text{ }kJ\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Maximum work done by the cell \[W=-n{{E}^{o}}F\] where, n = number of electrons loss or gain \[{{E}^{o}}\] standard electrode potential of cell. \[F=1F\] or \[96500\text{ }C\] \[\therefore \]  \[W=-2\times 1.1\times 96500\] \[\therefore \]  \[W=-212300J\] \[\{1000J=1kJ\}\] \[\therefore \]  \[W=-212.3kJ\]
