Vedclass · Answer

(A) The cell reaction is $Sn_{(s)} + 2Ag^{+}_{(aq)} 	o Sn^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2Ag_{(s)}$.According to the Nernst equation: $E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \frac{[Sn^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}$.This can be rewritten as: $E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} + \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \frac{[Ag^{+}]^2}{[Sn^{2+}]}$.To increase the voltage $(E_{cell})$,the value of the logarithmic term must increase.This occurs if the concentration of the reactant $[Ag^{+}]$ increases or the concentration of the product $[Sn^{2+}]$ decreases.Therefore,an increase in the concentration of $Ag^{+}$ ions will increase the voltage of the cell.

Which will increase the voltage of the cell $Sn_{(s)} + 2Ag^{+}_{(aq)} \to Sn^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2Ag_{(s)}$?
