Consider the Daniell cell, for which the overall cell reaction is Zn(s) + Cu 2+ (aq)

Question:

Consider the Daniell cell, for which the overall cell reaction is Zn(s) + Cu2+ (aq) ⇋ Zn2+ (aq) + Cu(s). The concentrations of CuSO4 and ZnSO4 are 2.50 × 10−3 and 1.10 × 10−3 m, respectively.

a. Calculate E setting the activities of the ionic species equal to their molalities.

b. Calculate γ ± for each of the half-cell solutions using the Debye–Hückel limiting law.

c. Calculate E using the mean ionic activity coefficients determined in part (b).
