Vedclass · Answer

(A) The cell reaction is $Cu_{(s)} + 2Ag^{+}_{(aq)} 	o Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2Ag_{(s)}$.According to the Nernst equation,the cell potential is given by $E_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \frac{[Cu^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}$.To increase the $E_{cell}$,the value of the logarithmic term $\frac{[Cu^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}$ must decrease.This can be achieved by increasing the concentration of the reactant $[Ag^{+}]$ or decreasing the concentration of the product $[Cu^{2+}]$.Therefore,an increase in the concentration of $Ag^{+}$ ions will increase the voltage of the cell.

Which of the following conditions will increase the voltage of the cell,represented by the equation $Cu_{(s)} + 2Ag^{+}_{(aq)} \to Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2Ag_{(s)}$?
