MCQ
A button cell used in watches function as following.

$Zn_{(s)} + Ag_2O_{(s)} + H_2O_{(l)} \rightleftharpoons  $$2Ag_{(s)} + Zn^{2+}_{(aq)}+ 2OH^-_{(aq)}$

If half cell potentials are

$Zn^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^- \rightarrow Zn_{(s)}\,;\,\, E^o = - 0.76\, V$

$Ag_2O_{(s)} + H_2O_{(l)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Ag_{(s)} + 2OH^-_{(aq)}\,,$$E^o = 0.34\, V$

The cell potential will be ........... $V.$

  • A
    $0.84$
  • B
    $1.34$
  • $1.10$
  • D
    $0.42$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1.10$
c
$ E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ} =E_{\text {O.P. }}^{\circ}+E^{\circ}_{\mathrm{RP.}}$

$=0.76+0.34=1.10 \mathrm{V} $
