Q. The correct form of Nernst equation for the cell Zn|Zn²⁺Cu²⁺|Cu is:

सेल Zn|Zn²⁺Cu²⁺|Cu के लिए नर्नस्ट समीकरण का सही रूप है:

A
E = E° + (RT/2F)ln[Cu²⁺]/[Zn²⁺]
B
E = E° - (RT/2F)ln[Cu²⁺]/[Zn²⁺]
C
E = E° + (RT/2F)ln[Zn²⁺]/[Cu²⁺]
D
E = E° - (RT/2F)ln[Zn²⁺]/[Cu²⁺]

Explanation

The reaction is:

Zn (s)+Cu2+(aq)Zn2+(aq)+Cu (s)\text{Zn (s)} + \text{Cu}^{2+} (aq) \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} (aq) + \text{Cu (s)}

Thus:

E=ERTnFln([Zn2+][Cu2+])(n = 2)E = E^\circ - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln\left(\frac{[\text{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\text{Cu}^{2+}]}\right) \quad \text{(n = 2)}
