    \[Zn(s)+C{{l}_{2}}(1\,atm)\xrightarrow{{}}Z{{n}^{2+}}+2C{{l}^{-}}\]. \[E_{cell}^{o}\] of the cell is 2.12 V. To increase E

    A)  \[[Z{{n}^{2+}}]\] should be increased

    B)  \[[Z{{n}^{2+}}]\] should be decreased

    C)  \[[C{{l}^{-}}]\] should be decreased

    D)  \[{{p}_{C{{l}_{2}}}}\] should be decreased

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    According to Nemsts equation \[{{E}_{cell}}+E_{cell}^{o}-\frac{nRT}{F}\log \frac{{{C}_{1}}}{{{C}_{2}}}\] For \[Zn(s)+C{{l}_{2}}(1\,atm)\xrightarrow{{}}Z{{n}^{2+}}+2C{{l}^{-}}\] Hence, to increase E, \[{{C}_{1}}\] should be decreased and  \[{{C}_{2}}\] should be increased ie, \[[Z{{n}^{2+}}]\] should be decreased and \[C{{l}_{2}}\] should be increased.
