    In the electrochemical cell [NEET-2017]
    \[Zn|ZnS{{O}_{4}}(0.01)||CuS{{O}_{4}}(1.0\,M)Cu,\] the emf of this Daniel cell is \[{{E}_{1}}\]. When the concentration of \[ZnS{{O}_{4}}\] is changed to 1.0 M and that of \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\] changed to 0.01 M, emf changes to \[{{E}_{2}}\]. From the following, which one is the relationship between\[{{E}_{1}}\] and \[{{E}_{2}}\]?
    (Given, \[\frac{RT}{F}=0.059\])

    A) \[{{E}_{2}}=0\ne {{E}_{1}}\]

    B) \[{{E}_{1}}={{E}_{2}}\]

    C) \[{{E}_{1}}<{{E}_{2}}\]

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[Zn|ZnS{{O}_{4}}(0.01\,M)||CuS{{O}_{4}}(1.0\,M)|Cu\]
    \[\therefore \]    \[{{E}_{1}}=E_{cell}^{0}-\frac{2.303RT}{2\times F}\times \log \frac{(0.01)}{1}\]
    When concentrations are changed
    \[\therefore \]    \[{{E}_{2}}=E_{cell}^{o}-\frac{2.303RT}{2F}\times \log \frac{1}{0.01}\]
    i.e.,       \[{{E}_{1}}>{{E}_{2}}\]
