    For cell reaction \[Zn+C{{u}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}Z{{n}^{2+}}+Cu\] cell representation is:

    A)  \[C{{u}^{2+}}|Zn||Z{{n}^{2+}}|Cu\]

    B)  \[Cu|C{{u}^{2+}}||Z{{n}^{2+}}|Zn\]

    C)  \[Cu|Z{{n}^{2+}}||Zn|C{{u}^{2+}}\]

    D)  \[C{{u}^{2+}}|Zn||Z{{n}^{2+}}|Cu\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Cell representation is done as follows \[Anode\left| \text{ }Anodicelectrolyte \right||cathodic\]\[electrolyte|cathode\] (i) Oxidation is loss of electron and it takes place at anode. Reduction is gain of electron and it takes place at cathode. \[\therefore \] For cell reaction                 \[Zn+C{{u}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}Z{{n}^{2+}}+Cu\] Zn is anode and Cu is cathode. \[\therefore \] cell representation is \[Zn|Z{{n}^{2+}}||C{{u}^{2+}}|Cu\]
