Consider the equilibrium obtained by electrically connecting zinc-amalgam Zn(Hg) and HgO electrodes in mercury cell,
Au(Hg) + HgO (s) ZnO (s) + Hg (l)
Under this equilibrium, what is the relation between the potential of the Zn(Hg) and HgO electrodes measured against the standard hydrogen electrode?

A.
Zn(Hg) electrode potential is equal to HgO electrode potential.
Since, at equilibrium E = zero
and
At equilibrium,
E = E i.e.
electrode potential of Zn(Hg) electrode must be equal to the HgO electrode.
The standard reduction potential for Zn2+ /Zn, Ni2+ /Ni and Fe2+ /Fe are respectively -0.76, -0.23 and -0.44 V. The reaction X + Y2+ → X2+ + Y will have more negative G value when X and Y are
