In mercury cell, the cell potential is approximately V and remains constant during its life.

During recharging, the cell is operated like an electrolytic cell, i.e., now electrical energy is supplied to it from an external source. The electrode is the reverse of those that occur during discharge:
At cathode: PbSO4(s) + 2e- → Pb(s) + SO42-(aq)                                (Reduction)
At anode: PbSO4(s) + 2H2O → PbO2(s) + SO42-(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 2e-      (Oxidation)
__________________________________________________________________________
 
Overall reaction: 2PbSO4(s) + 2H2O → Pb(s) + PbO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2SO42-(aq) 

Zinc is more reactive than iron, it loses electron more readily as compared to iron. In galvanized iron object, zinc acts as anode and does not allow the iron to lose  electrons

In both galvanic and electrolytic cells, oxidation takes place at the anode and electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. and reduction takes place at cathode.

For the cell reaction

Cuc1+2 (aq) +Zn(s)            ZnC2+2 (aq) + Cu(s)

the change in free energy at a given temperature is a function of

Znl || ZnSO4 (0.01 M)lCuSO4(1.0M) Cu, the emf of this Daniel cell is E1 When the concentration ZnSO4 is changed to 1.0 M and that of CuSO4 changed to 0.01 M, the emf changes to E2. From the followings, which one is the relationship between E1 and E2 ?
( Given, RTF=0.059)

Explanation

In a Daniell cell, the electrode potential depends on the concentrations of Zn2+ and Cu2+ ions. When the concentration of Zn2+ increases and Cu2+ decreases, the electrode potential (cell emf) increases according to the Nernst equation: E = E° - (RT/nF) ln Q, where Q is the reaction quotient.
