Answer:
C
Explanation:
Let us quickly remember that the EMF of a cell under non standard conditions in given by the Nernst equation.
This equation states that;
E = E°cell - 0.592/n log Q
Where
E = EMF under non standard conditions
E°cell= standard EMF of the cell
n = number of electrons transferred
Q = reaction quotient
If the reaction quotient is greater than 1 then cell potential is less than the standard cell potential.
The cell that generates the lowest cell potential is the cell depicted in option C because Q has the greatest positive value(Q<1).
Answer:
High activation energy is the reason behind unsuccessful reaction.
Explanation:
There are two types of reaction: (1) thermodynamically controlled reaction and (2) kinetically controlled reaction.
Thermodynamically controlled reaction are associated with change in enthalpy during reaction. More negative the enthalpy change, more favored will be the reaction.
Kinetically controlled reaction are associated with activation energy of a reaction. The lower the activation energy value, the more rapid will be the reaction.
Here, reaction between and
is thermodynamically favored due to negative enthalpy change but the high activation energy does not allow the reaction to take place by simple mixing.
