⇒
We need to select the correct option from the list below for the following questions.
(A) Voltage increases. (B) Voltage decreases but remains > zero. (C) Voltage becomes zero and remains at zero. (D) No change in voltage occurs. (E) Direction of voltage change cannot be predicted without additional information.
14. A 50-milliliter sample of a 2-molar solution is added to the left beaker.
If a 50-milliliter sample of a 2-molar solution is added to the left beaker, the voltage decreases but its value remains greater than zero. The correct option is B
15. The silver electrode is made larger.
If the silver electrode is made larger, no change in the value of the voltage since we don't have the idea of the initial value. The correct option is D.
16. The salt bridge is replaced by a platinum wire.
If the salt bridge is replaced by a platinum wire, there will be no passage of electrons because electrons can't pass through a platinum wire. Therefore, the voltage will be zero and remains at zero. The correct option is C.
17. Current is allowed to flow for 5 minutes.
If current is allowed to flow for 5 minutes, the voltage decreases but its value remains greater than zero. The correct option is B.
