The following cell is initially at standard-state conditions.Which of the following statements is true after the cell is allowed to discharge (do work) for a period of time?
Zn2+(aq) + 2e-
Zn(s) ; E° = -0.76 V
Cu2+(aq) + 2e-
Cu(s) ; E° = 0.34 V
A) Initially Ecell = - 1.10 V,and it will become more negative with time.
B) Ecell does not change with time.
C) Initially Ecell = - 1.10 V,and it will become more positive with time.
D) Initially Ecell = + 1.10 V,and it will become more negative with time.
E) Initially Ecell = + 1.10 V,and it will becomes more positive with time.
