    If \[Z{{n}^{2+}}|Zn\]electrode is diluted 100 times, then the change in emf is

    A)  increase of 59 mV

    B)  decrease of 59 mV

    C)  increase of 29.5 mV

    D)  decrease of 29.5 mV

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[{{E}_{cell}}=E_{cell}^{0}-\frac{0.0591}{2}\log \frac{1}{[Z{{n}^{2+}}]}\] \[=E_{cell}^{0}+0.02955\log \,C\] \[E_{cell}^{1}=E_{cell}^{0}+0.02955\log \frac{C}{100}=E_{cell}^{0}\] \[+\,0.02955\,(log\,C-2)\] \[\therefore \]\[{{E}_{cell}}\]decrease by \[0.02955\times 2V=0.059V=59mV\]
