The right compartment of a zinc concentration cell is prepared by dissolving of (molar mass ) in water to make of solution. The left compartment contains . Both have zinc electrodes; T = 298 K, , . Which statements are correct?

  1. A in the right compartment is
  2. BThe cell EMF is about
  3. CThe left electrode is the anode
  4. DThe EMF doubles if both solutions are diluted ten-fold

Answer: A, B, C

Moles of ; in 0.500 L this is (A). The dilute (0.005 M) side is the anode (C). (B). Diluting both ten-fold keeps the ratio 40, so the EMF is unchanged; (D) is wrong.
