NEET AIPMT SOLVED PAPER MAINS 2010

  • question_answer
    Consider the following relations for emf of a electrochemical cell
    [A] Emf of cell = (oxidation potential of anode) (reduction potential of cathode)
    [B] Emf of cell = (oxidation potential of anode) + (reduction potential of cathode)
    [C] Emf of cell = (reduction potential of anode) + (reduction potential of cathode)
    [D] Emf of cell = (oxidation potential of anode)-(0xidation potential of cathode)
    Which of the above relations are correct?

    A)  [C] and [A]        

    B)  [A] and [B]        

    C)  [C] and [D]        

    D)  [B] and [D]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{E}_{cell}}={{E}^{o}}_{_{(red)}^{cathode}}-{{E}^{o}}_{_{(red)}^{anode}}\]                    or            \[{{E}_{cell}}={{E}^{o}}_{_{(red)}^{cathode}}+{{E}^{o}}_{_{(oxid)}^{Anode}}\] or            \[{{E}_{cell}}={{E}^{o}}_{_{(oxid)}^{anode}}-{{E}^{o}}_{_{(oxid)}^{cathode}}\]
