Question
Under standard conditions, the galvanic cell shown above has a cell potential of+1.56 V using the reaction given. The salt bridge contains KNO3, which allows K ions and NO, ions to move in
the directions indicated. If KNO3 in the salt bridge is replaced with KOH, some Zn(OH), (s) precipitates in the Zn-Zn(NO,), half-cell. Which of the following best explains how the cell potential
is affected as Zn(OH), (s) starts to precipitate, and why?
The cell potential increases because the concentration of Zn2+(ag) decreases and Q.
,becomes smaller.
|Ag"
The cell potential decreases because the concentration of Zn2+ (ag) decreases and Q,
Zn
becomes smaller.
(Ag
The cell potential increases because Kt ions replace Zn2+ ions and the reduction of K* is more thermodynamically favored than the reduction of Zn?+.
D
The cell potential stays the same because Zn(OH), (8) is not part of the redox reaction responsible for the operation of the galvanic cell.
