Emf of cell= 0.34-(-0.76) =0.34+0.76=1.1

It is the standard electrode potential cor the given arrangement.

Emf of the cell is +1.10 V

Explanation:

Zn+Cu^{2+}(1M)\rightarrow Cu+Zn^{2+}(1M)

Using Nernst equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{1}{[X]}

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell =  E^o_c-E^0_a=E^o_{Cu}-E^0_{Zn}=0.34-(-0.76)=1.10V

E_{cell} = emf of the cell

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_cell=1.10-\frac{2.303\times (8.314)\times (298)}{1\times 96500}\log \frac{1}{1}

E_{cell}=1.10V
