<u>Answer:</u> The potential of electrode is -0.79 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

When zinc is dipped in zinc sulfate solution, the electrode formed is Zn^{2+}(aq.)/Zn(s)

Reduction reaction follows:  Zn^{2+}(0.1M)+2e^-\rightarrow Zn(s);(E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V)

To calculate the potential of electrode, we use the equation given by Nernst equation:

E_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}=E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Zn]}{[Zn^{2+}]}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = ?V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = -0.76 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Zn]=1M    (concentration of pure solids are taken as 1)

[Zn^{2+}]=0.1M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=-0.76-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{1}{0.1})\\\\E_{cell}=-0.79V

Hence, the potential of electrode is -0.79 V

We know that density = mass /volume
so
mass=volume*density
volume=mass/density
so c is wrong

What does buffer do?? (Chemistry)​
pogonyaev
A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is important for processes and/or reactions which require specific and stable pH ranges. Buffer solutions have a working pH range and capacity which dictate how much acid/base can be neutralized before pH changes, and the amount by which it will change.
