Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Electrochemistry · Topic: Nernst Cells · Exam: CSIR-NET JUNE 2015 · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium
The correct $\Delta G$ for the cell reaction involving steps \[ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{Zn(s) \rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+2e} \\ \mathrm{Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e \rightarrow Cu(s)} \end{array} \]
is (a)$\Delta G^{o}-RT\ln\dfrac{a_{\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}}}{a_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}}}$
(b)$\Delta G^{o}+RT\ln\dfrac{a_{\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}}}{a_{\mathrm{Cu(s)}}}$
(c)$\Delta G^{o}-RT\ln\dfrac{a_{\mathrm{Zn(s)}}}{a_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}}}$
(d)$\Delta G^{o}+RT\ln\dfrac{a_{\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}}}{a_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}}}$
