RESEARCH QUESTION
How does temperature change the voltage produced by a zinc–copper Daniell cell?
Scientific background
In a Daniell cell, zinc is oxidised at one electrode and copper(II) ions are reduced at the other, giving a standard cell potential of about 1.10 V. The Nernst equation shows that the cell potential depends on temperature as well as on the concentrations of the two solutions.
