    \[{{E}_{1}},\,{{E}_{2}},\,{{E}_{3}}\] are the emf values of the three galvanic cells respectively. (i) \[Zn|Zn_{1M}^{2+}||Cu_{0.1M}^{2+}|Cu\] (ii) \[Zn|Zn_{1M}^{2+}||Cu_{1M}^{2+}|Cu\] (iii) \[Zn|Zn_{0.1M}^{2+}||Cu_{1M}^{2+}|Cu\] Which one of the following is true?

    A)  \[{{E}_{2}}>{{E}_{3}}>{{E}_{1}}\]

    B)  \[{{E}_{3}}>{{E}_{2}}>{{E}_{1}}\]

    C)  \[{{E}_{1}}>{{E}_{2}}>{{E}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[{{E}_{1}}>{{E}_{3}}>{{E}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    For the given cell, \[{{E}_{cell}}={{E}^{o}}_{cell}-\frac{0.0591}{2}\log \frac{[Z{{n}^{2+}}]}{[C{{u}^{2+}}]}\] (i)\[{{E}_{1}}={{E}^{o}}_{cell}-\frac{0.0591}{2}\log \frac{1}{0.1}={{E}^{o}}_{cell}-\frac{0.0591}{2}\] (ii) \[{{E}_{2}}={{E}^{o}}_{cell}-\frac{0.0591}{2}\log \frac{1}{1}\] (iii) \[={{E}^{o}}_{cell}-\frac{0.0591}{2}\times 0={{E}^{o}}_{cell}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{E}_{3}}>{{E}_{2}}>{{E}_{1}}\]
