Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 211

Question: In a cell that utilises the reaction Zn(s)+2H+(aq) Zn2+(aq)+H2(g) addition of H2SO4 to cathode compartment, will [AIEEE 2004]

Options:

A) Increase the E and shift equilibrium to the right

B) Lower the E and shift equilibrium to the right

C) Lower the E and shift equilibrium to the left

D) Increase the E and shift equilibrium to the left

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Zn(s)+2H+(aq) - Zn(aq)2++H2(g)

ECell=Ecell0.0592log[Zn2+][H+]2

When H2SO4 is added then [H+] will increase therefore ECell will also increases and equilibrium will shift towards right.
