    Standard electrode potential of half-cell reactions are given below \[C{{u}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cu;\]\[{{E}^{o}}=0.34V\] \[Z{{n}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Zn;\]\[{{E}^{o}}=-0.76V\]What is the emf of the cell?

    A) \[\left[ \text{F}{{\text{L}}^{\text{2}}}{{T}^{-\text{2}}} \right]\]   

    B) \[\left[ \text{F}{{\text{L}}^{-\text{1}}}{{\text{T}}^{\text{2}}} \right]\]

    C) \[\left[ {{\text{F}}^{2}}\text{L}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-2}}} \right]\]                                 

    D) \[-\text{273}.\text{15}{}^\circ \text{F}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[Zn\xrightarrow{{}}Z{{n}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\] (oxidation half- reaction) \[C{{u}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cu\] (reduction half- reaction) Emf of the cell = standard oxidation potential of zinc electrode + standard reduction potential of Cu electrode \[[{{m}^{0}}{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]
