(B) The cell reaction is: $Zn_{(s)} + Cu_{(0.02 \ M)}^{2+} \rightarrow Zn_{(x \ M)}^{2+} + Cu_{(s)}$.According to the Nernst equation: $E_{cell} = E_{cell}^0 - \frac{0.059}{2} \log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}$.Substituting the values: $E_{cell} = E_{cell}^0 - 0.0295 \log \frac{x}{0.02}$.To increase $E_{cell}$,the term $\log \frac{x}{0.02}$ must be negative.This occurs when $\frac{x}{0.02} < 1$,which implies $x < 0.02 \ M$.
