The emf of the following three galvanic cells.
I.Zn/Zn2+(1M)||Cu2+(1M)/Cu
II.Zn/Zn2+(0.1M)||Cu2+(1M)/Cu
III.Zn/Zn2+(1M)||Cu2+(0.1M)/Cu
are represented byE1,E2andE3. Which of the following is true

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Ecell=Ecello-2.303RTnFlog[Zn2+][Cu2+]
E1=Ecello-2.303RT2Flog11=Ecello
E2=Ecello-2.303RT2Flog0.11
=Ecello+2.303RT2F
E2=Ecello-2.303RT2Flog10.1
=Ecello-2.303RT2F
Hence,E2>E1>E3.
