S.No. Question M CDLL CO

1. Determine the EMF of the following cell at 25 °C [4] [Ap] CO1
with the help of Nernst equation by finding the
net reaction.
Mg|Mg2+(0.001M) ||Cu2+(0.01M) |Cu
(E°Mg2+|Mg = -2.364V and E°Cu2+|Cu = 0.334 V).
1.1. Observe the following reaction. Write the half- [4] [Ap] CO1
cell reactions and cell representation. Calculate
standard EMF of the cell.
Zn(s) + Ag+ → Zn2+ + Ag(s)
(E0Ag+|Ag = 0.80V and E0Zn2+|Zn = -0.76 V) at 25 °C.
Discuss that is it spontaneous or not?

1.2 A cell is formed by dipping a nickel rod in 0.01M [4] [AP] CO1
