For a closed circuit Daniell cell, which of the following plots is the accurate one at a given temperature?

  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(4) [figure]

Solution

E cell = E cathode - E anode is the standard cell potential; it depends only on the nature of the electrodes and the temperature.

For the Daniell cell: E cell = 0.34 - (-0.76) = 1.10 V

When the circuit is closed, [Zn2+] increases and [Cu2+] decreases, so Ecell (Nernst equation) falls with time, but E cell does not depend on concentration or time.

At a given temperature, E cell vs time is a horizontal straight line.

Answer: (4)
