    The standard electrode potentials of\[A{{g}^{+}}/Ag\]is\[+0.80\text{ }V\]and\[C{{u}^{+}}/Cu\]is\[+0.34\text{ }V\]. These electrodes are connected through a salt bridge and if:

    A) copper electrode acts as a cathode then\[E{}^\circ \]cell is\[+0.46\text{ }V\]

    B) silver electrode acts as anode then\[E{}^\circ \]cell is\[-0.34\text{ }V\]

    C) copper electrode acts as anode then\[E{}^\circ \]cell is\[+0.46V\]

    D) silver electrode acts as a cathode then\[E{}^\circ \]cell is\[-0.34\text{ }V\]

    E) silver electrode acts as anode and\[E{}^\circ \]cell is \[+1.14V\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[E_{cell}^{o}=E_{cathode}^{o}-E_{anode}^{o}\] \[=E_{A{{g}^{+}}/Ag}^{o}-E_{C{{u}^{+}}/Cu}^{o}\] \[=-0.80-0.34\] \[=+0.46\]
