Consider the given cell:
\(\mathrm{Z n   \left|\right. Z n S O_{4}   \left(\right. 0 . 01   M \left.\right)   \left|\right. \left|\right.   C u S O_{4} \left(\right. 1 . 0   M \left.\right)   \left|\right.   C u}\)
In the electrochemical cell, the emf of this Daniel cell is E1. When the concentration of ZnSO4 is changed to 1.0 M and that of CuSO4 is changed to 0.01 M, the emf changes to E2. From the following, which one is the relationship between E1 and E2 ?

(Given: \(\frac{RT}{F}\) = 0.059)

1. \(\mathrm{E_{1} < E_{2}}\) 2. \(\mathrm{E_{1} > E_{2}}\)
3. \(\mathrm{E_{2} = 0 \neq E_{1}}\) 4. \(\mathrm{E_{1} = E_{2}}\)
