a lechlanche cell of emf 1.4V is connected to the primary of a transformer of turn ratio 10:1. the output voltage is?
Hello!!!!
Hope you are doing great!!!!!
The overall reaction of a lechlanche cell is
ZnHg+Hgo(s) gives rise to ZnO(s)+HgI
Change in valency(number of electrons transffered) =n=2
According to nernst equation,
E cell = E^o cell - RT/nF(Zn 2+/Hg 2+)
=1.4 - 8.314*298 / 2*96500(10/1)
=1.4 - 0.06/2 * (10)
=1.4 - 0.3
=1.1V
Hope it helps!!!!!1
According to NCERT Book,I got the equation of cathode and anode respectively . Accordingly I solved the problem.
Hope it helps!!!!
