Consider the following relations for emf of an electrochemical cell

(i)EMF of cell = (oxidation potential of anode) - (Reduction potential of cathode)

(ii)EMF of cell = (oxidation potential of anode) + (Reduction potential of cathode)

(iii)EMF of cell = (reduction potential of anode) + (oxidation potential of cathode)

(iv)EMF of cell = (oxidation potential of anode) - (oxidation potential of cathode)

Which of these expressions are correct?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

EMF of a cell = reduction potential of cathode - reduction potential of anode

= reduction potential of cathode + oxidation potential of anode

= oxidation potential of anode - oxidation potential of cathode.
