Find the relationship between E₁ and E₂ for the following Daniell cell:

Zn | ZnSO₄ (0.01 M) || CuSO₄ (1.0 M) | Cu

The emf of this cell is E₁.

If the concentration of ZnSO₄ is changed to 1.0 M and that of CuSO₄ is changed to 0.01 M, the emf becomes E₂.

Given:

RT/F = 0.059 V

1. E1 = E2

2. E1 > E2

3. E1 < E2

4. E2 = 0 \(\neq\)E1
