Practice question
Question
What is the standard electrode potential of a galvanic ll where zinc is oxidized and copper is reduced, given their standard reduction potentials are -0.76 V and 0.34 V respectively?
Explanation
Given:
What is the standard electrode potential of a galvanic ll where zinc is oxidized and copper is reduced, given their standard reduction potentials are -0.76 V and 0.34 V respectively?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Standard ll potential, E_{ll⁰ = E_{cathode⁰ - E_{anode⁰.
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
For Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ (anode) and Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s) (cathode): E_{ll⁰ = 0.34 - (-0.76) = 1.10 V .
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
