    Consider the following relations for emf of a electrochemical cell            [AIPMT (M) 2010]
    [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) and

    B) and      

    C) and

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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