$\displaystyle \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ ions is increased and
(ii)
$\displaystyle \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}$ ions is increased?
Marking-scheme solution
\(\displaystyle E_{\text {cell }}=E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}-\frac{0.059}{2} \log \frac{\left[\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\right]}\) or any other correct mathematical expression of Nernst
equation
(i) \(\displaystyle E_{\text {cell }}\) will increase
\(\displaystyle (\) ii \(\displaystyle ) E_{\text {cell }}\) will decrease
