Worked practice questions

The standard EMF of a Zn|Zn²⁺||Cu²⁺|Cu cell (E°_Cu²⁺/Cu = +0.34 V; E°_Zn²⁺/Zn = −0.76 V) is

  1. +1.10 V
  2. +0.42 V
  3. −1.10 V
  4. −0.42 V
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. +1.10 V

1. Daniell cell: Zn (anode, oxidation), Cu (cathode, reduction). 2. E°_cell = E°_cathode − E°_anode = 0.34 − (−0.76) V. 3. E°_cell = 0.34 + 0.76 = +1.10 V. 4. Positive value means the reaction is spontaneous as written. _Source: syllabus Chemistry, Unit 3 "Electrochemistry", §3.2_

For the reaction Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu with E° = +0.34 V, what is the cell potential when [Cu²⁺] = 0.01 M at 298 K?

  1. +0.34 V
  2. +0.399 V
  3. +0.281 V
  4. +0.281 V (using log 100)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. +0.281 V

1. E = E° − (0.059/n) log (1/[Cu²⁺]) = E° + (0.059/n) log [Cu²⁺]. 2. n = 2. Substitute: E = 0.34 + (0.059/2) × log(0.01). 3. log(0.01) = −2. Term = (0.059/2) × (−2) = −0.059. 4. E = 0.34 − 0.059 = +0.281 V. _Source: syllabus Chemistry, Unit 3 "Electrochemistry", §3.3_

One Faraday equals the charge on

  1. One gram of silver
  2. One coulomb
  3. One mole of hydrogen atoms
  4. One mole of electrons
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. One mole of electrons

1. 1 F is the charge carried by 1 mole of electrons. 2. Numerically, 1 F ≈ 96500 C mol⁻¹. 3. This connects electrical (charge) and chemical (moles) quantities. 4. It appears throughout electrolysis, Nernst equation and battery calculations. _Source: syllabus Chemistry, Unit 3 "Electrochemistry", §3.4_
