A button cell used in watches functions as follows
Zn s + Ag 2 O s + H 2 O⇌ 2Ag s + Zn 2+ aq +2 OH −
If half cell potentials are
Zn2+(aq)+2e-→Zn(s)
E°=-0.76V
Ag 2 O (s) + H 2 O (l) +2 e − → 2Ag (s) +2 OH −
E°=0.34V
The cell potential will be

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

As cell is
Zn/Zn2+||Ag+/Ag
Ecello=ECathodeo-EAnodeo
=0.34-(-0.76)=1.1V
