Under standard conditions, the galvanic cell shown above has a cell potential of +1.56 V using the reaction given. The salt bridge contains KNO3, which allows K+ ions and NO3 ions to move
in the directions indicated. If KNO3 in the salt bridge is replaced with KOH, some Zn(OH),(s) precipitates in the Zn-Zn(NO,), half-cell. Which of the following best explains how the cell

The cell potential decreases because the concentration of Zn²+ (ag) decreases and Q.
The cell potential increases because Kt ions replace Zn+ ions and the reduction of K is more thermodynamically favored than the reduction of Zn2+
D
The cell potential stays the same because Zn(OH), (s) is not part of the redox reaction responsible for the operation of the galvanic cell.
