Q37 / 225 · JEE Main 2004 · Chemistry

In a cell that utilises the reaction $\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s})+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})$ addition of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ to cathode compartment, will

  • A
    lower the $E$ and shift equilibrium to the left
  • B
    increases the $E$ and shift equilibrium to the left
  • Correct answer
    C
    increase the $E$ and shift equilibrium to the right
  • D
    Lower the $E$ and shift equilibrium to the right

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
