Question: 294

1. What is the standard cell voltage, E°, of the cell used in the experiment?

  • A. + 0.52 V
  • B. + 0.34 V
  • C. + 0.18 V
  • D. 0 V

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D The setup shown is an example of a concentration cell. The difference in concentration will produce an electrical current, until the concentrations in both half-cells become equal. The standard cell voltage for this cell (and all concentration cells) is 0, because reciprocal redox reactions are occurring.
