The standard oxidation potentials of Zn, Cu, Ag and Ni electrodes are +0.76, 0.34, - 0.80 and +0.25 V respectively. Which of the following reaction will provide maximum voltage?

  • Cu + 2Ag+(aq) → Cu+2 (aq) +2Ag

  • Zn + 2Ag+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + 2Ag

  • H2 + Ni2+ (aq) → 2H+(aq) + Ni

  • Zn + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu


A.

Cu + 2Ag+(aq) → Cu+2 (aq) +2Ag

Standard oxidation potentials of Zn, Cu, Ag and Ni electrode are + 0.76,- 0.34, - 0.80 and + 0.25V respectively. (Given)

     Zn+2 + 2e- → Zn, Ecell = -0.76V

    Cu+2  + 2e- → Cu, Ecell = + 0.34V

     Ag+ + e- → Ag, Ecell = +0.80V

    Ni2+ + 2e- → Ni, Ecell = -0.25V

(a) Cu + 2Ag+(aq) → Cu+2 (aq) +2Ag

E°cell = E°cathode -  E°anode

E°cell = 0.80- 0.34 = 0.46V

(b) Zn + 2Ag+(aq)
