JEE Main levelNumerical answerDifficulty 2 of 3ec034
A Daniell cell Zn∣ZnX2+(1M)∣∣CuX2+(1M)∣Cu has Ecell∘=1.10V. Assuming the EMF stays at 1.10V, the maximum electrical work (in J, nearest integer) obtainable when 0.010mol of Zn dissolves is (take F=96500Cmol−1).
Numerical answer type, answer in J, tolerance 1.
Answer: 2123 J
Maximum work =nFE where n is the number of moles of electrons passed. Each Zn gives 2 electrons, so n=2×0.010=0.020mol. Charge =0.020×96500=1930C. Work =1930×1.10=2123J.
