Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
For $Zn^{+2} \longrightarrow Zn$
$E_{z_{n}}^{+} / z_{n} =E_{z_{n}^{+2} / z_{n}}^{\circ}-\frac{2.303 R T}{n F} \log \frac{\left[z_{n}\right]}{\left[z_{n}^{+2}\right]}$
$=-0.76-\frac{0.06}{2} \log \frac{1}{0.1}=-0.76-0.03$
$E_{z_{n}}^{+2} / z_{n} =-0.79\, V$

Nernst Equation
This equation relates the equilibrium cell potential (also called the Nernst potential) to its concentration gradient across a membrane. If there is a concentration gradient for the ion across the membrane, an electric potential will form, and if selective ion channels exist the ion can cross the membrane.
