MCQ
$Co|Co^{2+}(C_2)||Co^{2+}(C_1)|Co$, for this cell, $\Delta G$ is negative if
  • A
    $C_2 > C_1$
  • $C_2 < C_1$
  • C
    $C_1 = C_2$
  • D
    unpredictable

Answer

Correct option: B.
$C_2 < C_1$
b
$\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}=\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}-\frac{0.059}{\mathrm{n}} \log \frac{\mathrm{C}_{2}}{\mathrm{C}_{1}}$

For concentration cell $\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^{o}=0$

$\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}=-\frac{0.059}{\mathrm{n}} \log \frac{\mathrm{C}_{2}}{\mathrm{C}_{1}}$

$\Delta G=$ negative ie $E_{\text {cell }}=$ positive For $E_{\text {cell }}$ positive $=C_{1}>C_{2}$
