Question

In a cell that utilizes the reaction Zn(s) + 2H + (aq) → Zn 2+ (aq) + H 2 (g) addition of H 2 SO 4 to cathode compartment,, Lowers the E and shifts equilibrium to the left, Lowers the E and shifts the equilibrium to the right, Increases the E and shifts the equilibrium to the right, Increases the E and shifts the equilibrium to the left

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Zn(s) + 2H + (aq) → Zn 2+ (aq) + H 2 (g) E cell = E cell o − 0 .059 2 log Zn 2+ × p H 2 H + 2 On adding H 2 SO 4 , the H + will increase therefore E cell will also increase and the equilibrium will shift towards the right.
