NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

Given the standard electrode potentials: EZn2+/Zn0=0.76E^0_{Zn^{2+}/Zn} = -0.76 V and EAg+/Ag0=0.80E^0_{Ag^+/Ag} = 0.80 V, calculate the standard emf for the galvanic cell based on the reaction Zn(s)+2Ag+(aq)Zn2+(aq)+2Ag(s)Zn(s) + 2Ag^+(aq) \rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq) + 2Ag(s).

A

56 V

B

0.04 V

C

36 V

D

-1.56 V

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The standard emf of the cell is calculated as Ecell0=Ecathode0Eanode0=0.80(0.76)=1.56E^0_{cell} = E^0_{cathode} - E^0_{anode} = 0.80 - (-0.76) = 1.56 V.
