A Cu²⁺/Cu || Zn²⁺/Zn galvanic cell is operated at 310 K. The standard cell potential at 298 K for this system is 1.10 V. Under the conditions [Cu²⁺] = 0.010 M and Ecell = 1.08 V, what is the concentration of Zn²⁺ in the Zn²⁺/Zn half-cell? (a) 4.5×10−2  M4.5\times10^{-2}\;\text{M} (b) 2.1×10−2  M2.1\times10^{-2}\;\text{M} (c) 4.5×10−4  M4.5\times10^{-4}\;\text{M} (d) 3.2×10−1  M3.2\times10^{-1}\;\text{M}
