    The values of standard electrode potentials of \[Z{{n}^{2+}}\]/ Zn and \[A{{g}^{+}}\] / Ag are - 0.763V and + 0.799V respectively. The standard potential of the cell is

    A)  1.56 V             

    B)  -1.56V

    C)  -0.036 V                      

    D)  + 0.036V

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Half-cell reactions are (i) \[\operatorname{Zn} \xrightarrow{{}}\,\,Z{{n}^{2\,+}} + 2{{e}^{-}} E{}^\circ \,\,=\,\,+ 0.763\,V\] (ii) \[{{\operatorname{Ag}}^{+}}\,\,+\,\,e\,\xrightarrow{{}} Ag, \,E{}^\circ = \,0.799 V\,\,\times \,\,2\] From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[\operatorname{Zn}\,\,+\,\,Ag\,\,+\,\,\xrightarrow{{}}\,\,Z{{n}^{2\,+}} + Ag\] \[\operatorname{E}{}^\circ =\, 0.763\,\,+\,\,0.799\,\,=\, 1.56V\]
