1. Calculate the EMF of the cell at 27°c when give electrodes are couple together.

Zn→ Zn++ + 2e E° = + 0.76 V Ag → Ag+ + 2e E° = - 0.80 V

R=8.314 JK Mol ,
-1 -1 [Zn ] = 0.2 M,
++ [Ag+] = 0.1 M

2. The standard reduction potential of Cu++/Cu and Ni++/Ni electrode are +0.34V and -0.25V
respectively. For what concentration of Cu++, the emf will be zero at 25°C. If the concentration of
the Ni++ is 0.01M.

3. A galvanic cell consist of metallic zinc plate immersed in 0.1M zinc nitrate solution and lead
plate in 0.02 M lead nitrate solution. Construct well labelled diagram of the galvanic cell. Write
the chemical equation and the cell notation for the electrode reactions. Calculate the EMF of the
cell at 25°C. Given Zn/Zn++ E°=+0.76V and Pb/Pb++ E°= +0.13V

(Hint: Remember standard oxidation potential is given, convert into standard reduction
potential first… Reduction potential E( M++/M) = - Oxidation Potential (M/M++) )

4. Calculate the Emf of the following cell Zn(S) / Zn (0.1M)//Cu (1.75M) / Cu(S) at 25°C

++ ++ -1 -1
E° Zn / Zn =-0.76v, E° Cu / Cu = 0.34v , R= 8.314 J mol K , F =96500C
