    \[Zn|\underset{C=1}{\mathop{Z{{n}^{2+}}}}\,||\underset{C=1}{\mathop{C{{u}^{2+}}}}\,|Cu\] If the standard reduction potential of zinc electrode and copper half-cell is \[-0.76\,\,V\] and \[0.34\,\,V\] respectively then the emf will be

    A) \[1.1\,\,V\]                        

    B) \[1.4\,\,V\]                        

    C) \[1.34\,\,V\]      

    D)        None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given,\[E_{Z{{n}^{2+}}/zn}^{o}=-0.76\,\,V\] \[E_{C{{u}^{2+}}/Cu}^{o}=0.34\,\,V\] \[EMF=E_{R}^{\text{o}}-E_{L}^{\text{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[EMF=E_{C{{u}^{2+}}/Cu}^{\text{o}}-E_{z{{n}^{2+}}/Zn}^{\text{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[=0.34+0.76\] \[\therefore \]  \[EMF=1.1\,\,V\]
