Question

A zinc-copper battery is constructed as follows (standard reduction potentials given below):
Zn | Zn2+ (0.10 M) || Cu2+ (2.50 M) | Cu
Zn2+ + 2 e- → Zn(s) Eº = -0.76 V
Cu2+ + 2 e- → Cu(s) Eº = 0.34 V
The mass of each electrode is 200 g. Each half-cell contains 1.00 L of 1M solution. Calculate the cell
potential after 10.0 A of current has flowed for 10.0 hours.
A. 0.90V
B. 1.13V
C. –1.00V
D. 1.20V
E. 2.00V
