In an electrochemical cell, the following reaction takes place : \[\begin{aligned} & 2 \mathrm{Cu}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{~s}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{~s})+\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq}) \\ & \mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=1 \cdot 28 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned} \] As the reaction progresses, what will happen to the overall voltage of the cell ?
Official answer
From CBSE’s own marking scheme for this paper.
(B)
It will decrease as $\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\right]$ increases.
