Question
Which of following cell can produce more electrical work.
Options
A.Pt, H2 |0.1M NH4Cl || 0.1 M CH3COOH | H2, Pt
B.Pt, H2 | 0.1 M HCl || 0.1 M NaOH | H2, Pt
C.Pt, H2 | 0.1 M HCl || 0.1 M CH3COOK | H2, Pt
D.Pt, H2 | 0.1 M CH3COOK || 0.1 M HCl | H2, Pt
Solution
Ecell = - 
For Ecell to be highest [H+]a should be lower and [H+]c should be higher and that why anode compartment should be more basic and cathodic compartment should be acidic.
