<u>Answer:</u> The potential of the given cell is 1.551 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical cell follows:

Zn(s)|Zn^{2+}(0.125M)||Ag^{+}(0.240M)|Ag(s)

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(0.125M)+2e^-;E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.762V

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> Ag^{+}(0.240M)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag}=0.799V       ( × 2)

<u>Net cell reaction:</u> Zn(s)+2Ag^{+}(0.240M)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(0.125M)+2Ag(s)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.762)=1.561V

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}

where,

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

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +1.561 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Zn^{2+}]=0.125M

[Ag^{+}]=0.240M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=1.561-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{(0.125)}{(0.240)^2})

E_{cell}=1.551V

Hence, the potential of the given cell is 1.551 V

Why is sucrose insoluble in dichloromethane?
Vika [28.1K]
Sucrose is insoluble in dichloromethane because dichloromethane is not a polar solvent.
Sucrose is soluble in water because the molecules of sucrose has the ability to react with the molecules of water and thereby forming hydrogen bond which enhance the dispersion of sucrose in the water. 
Sugar can not react in a similar way with dichloromethane because they do not possess chemical species that can react together to form bonds. Thus, sugar is a polar substance which can not dissolve in a non-polar solvent.
