ACKNOWLEGEMENT
I wish to express my deep gratitude and sincere thanks to
the principal Mrs. Asha kapoor for her encouragement
and for all the facilities that she provided for this project
work.
I extend my hearty thanks to Mrs. Priti Kulshresth, who
guided me to the successful completion of this project. I
take this opportunity to express my deep sense of
gratitude for this invaluable guidance constant
encouragement, immense motivation, which has
sustained my efforts at all stages of this Project work.
I can’t forget to offer my sincere thanks to my parents and
also to my classmates who helped me to carry out this
project successful and for their valuable advice and
support, which I received from then time to time.

INTRODUCTION
Electro Chemical Cell
Whenever a redox reaction is allowed to take place
directly in a single beaker, it is found that the solution
becomes hot. For example, when zinc is placed in a
copper solution, the solution is found to be warmer as the
reaction proceeds according to the equation.
Zn(s) +Cu (aq) ZnSo4 (aq) +Cu(s)
Similar results are observed when a rod of copper is
placed in silver solution. The reaction taking place as
follows:
Cu(s) +2AgNo3+2Ag
Thus, we conclude that whenever a redox takes place
directly in a single in a single beaker, chemical energy in
the form of heat is produced. By suitable means it is
possible to bring out the redox reaction indirectly so as to
convert the chemical energy into the electrical energy.

Experimental Setup
A zinc rod is placed in the zinc sulphate solution taken in a
beaker. A copper rod is placed in the copper sulphate
solution taken in another beaker. The two rods are
connected by a wire and two solutions are connected by a
salt bridge.

Procedure
Take two clean beakers.
In one beaker take 0.5M copper sulphate solution and
in the other take 0.5M zinc sulphate solution.
Take a copper strip and clean it using a sandpaper.
Dip the copper strip into the beaker containing the 1M
copper sulphate solution.
Similarly, take a zinc strip and clean it using a
sandpaper.
Then dip into the beaker containing 1M zinc sulphate
solution.
Take a salt bridge and connect the two solutions using
the salt bridge.
Take a voltmeter and connect the copper strip to the
positive terminal and the zinc strip to the negative
terminal using connecting wires.
Note the positive of the pointer in the voltmeter and
record the reading.
Repeat the experiment by taking different
concentration of zinc sulphate and the copper
sulphate solutions.

Observations
S.no. MCuSo4 MZnSo4 EMF
1 0.5 0.5 0.98V
2 0.5 0.25 0.81V
3 0.25 0.25 0.90V
Conclusion
With these observations, we conclude that EMF of the cell
increases with decreases in the concentration of the
electrolyte around the anode and the increase in the
concentration of the electrolyte around the cathode.
