What is the voltage of a cell with half-reactions Zn(s) = Zn2+ + 2e-

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

Zn2+(aq)+2e⇌Zn(s)××××x−0.76

Cu2+(aq)+2e⇌Cu(s)××××x+0.34

×××××××××××−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→

The 1/2 cell with the most +ve E∘ value will take in the electrons.

So we can see that the copper 1/2 cell will be driven left to right and the zinc 1/2 cell right to left as indicated by the arrows.

So the two 1/2 equations are:

Zn(aq)→Zn2+(aq)+2e

Cu2+(aq)+2e→Cu(s)

Adding these gives the cell reaction when it is working:

Zn(s)+Cu2+(aq)→Zn2+(aq)+Cu(s)

When the zinc atoms lose electrons the zinc ions go into solution and the 2 electrons flow away from this electrode into the external circuit.

When they arrive at the copper electrode, they are picked up by the copper(II) ions to become copper atoms.

The two 1/2 cells are connected by a salt bridge or a membrane. The salt bridge consists of some filter paper soaked in a suitable electrolyte such as saturated potassium nitrate solution.

The function of the salt bridge is to maintain electrical neutrality in each half cell.

As zinc ions go into solution NO−3 ions flood in to the half cell.

As copper(II) ions leave the solution in the other 1/2 cell, K+ ions flood in.

To find the emf of the cell, subtract the least +ve E∘ value from the most +ve:

E∘cell=+0.34−(−0.76)=+1.1V

This arrangement is known as "The Daniel Cell".

The experiment where the factors being tested are not applied. It allows scientists to set a baseline to compare the experimenta
olasank [31]

Answer:

An experiment is a research method performed within a completely controlled environment that uses groups of individuals ( subjects), one of which the factors being tested are not spplied on, an independent factor of the hypothesys ( to be tested ), for example the resilience of a group of teenagers) and a dependant factor that is applied to check how it varyes depending on the tested factor ( for example, the most challanging experience of their generation)
