    The\[emf\,\,{{E}^{o}}\]of the following cells are: \[AG|A{{g}^{+}}(1M)||C{{u}^{2+}}(1M)|Cu;\,\,{{E}^{o}}=-0.46\,\,V\] \[Zn|Z{{n}^{2+}}(1M)||C{{u}^{2+}}(1M)|Cu;\,\,{{E}^{o}}=1.10\,\,V\] emf of the following cell is \[Zn|Z{{n}^{2+}}(1M)||A{{g}^{+}}(1M)|Ag\]

    A) \[0.64\,\,V\]                                      

    B) \[1.10\,\,V\]

    C) \[1.56\,\,V\]                                      

    D) \[-0.64\,\,V\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[E_{C{{u}^{2+}}/Cu}^{o}-E_{A{{g}^{+}}/Ag}^{o}=-0.46\,\,V\]    ? (i)                 \[E_{C{{u}^{2+}}/Cu}^{\text{o}}-E_{Z{{n}^{2+}}/Zn}^{\text{o}}=1.10\,\,V\]         ? (ii) On subtracting Eq (i) from equation (ii), we get                 \[E_{A{{g}^{+}}/Ag}^{\text{o}}-E_{Z{{n}^{2+}}/Zn}^{\text{o}}=+1.56\,\,V\]
