A button cell used in watches functions as following
Zn(s) + Ag2O(s) + H2O(l) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2Ag(s) + Zn2+(aq) + 2OH(aq)

If half-cell potentials are-

Zn2+(aq) + 2e→ Zn(s)  Eo = – 0.76 V 
Ag2O(s) + H2O(l) + 2e → 2Ag(s) + 2OH(aq) Eo = 0.34 V

The cell potential will be:

1. 0.42 V 2. 0.84 V
3. 1.34 V 4. 1.10 V

Consider the following relations for emf of an electrochemical cell:

(a) emf of cell = (Oxidation potential of anode) – (Reduction potential of cathode)
(b) emf of cell = (Oxidation potential of anode) + (Reduction potential of cathode)
(c) emf of cell = (Reduction potential of anode) + (Reduction potential of cathode)
(d) emf of cell = (Oxidation potential of anode) – (Oxidation potential of cathode)

The correct relation among the given options is: 

1. (a) and (b) 2. (c) and (d)
3. (b) and (d) 4. (c) and (a)
