Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 630

Question: Given ECu2+/Cu=0.34V,,ECu2+/Cu=0.15V Standard electrode potential for the half cell Cu+/Cu is

Options:

A) 0.38 V

B) 0.53 V

C) 0.19 V

D) 0.49 V

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Cu2++eCu+;

E1=0.15V;ΔG1=n1E1F

Cu2+2eCu;

E2=0.34V;ΔG2=n2E2F

On subracting eq. (i) from eq. (ii) we get

Cu++eCu;ΔG2=ΔG=ΔG2ΔG1 nEF=(n2EFn1E1F) E=n2E2Fn1E1FnF =2×0.340.151=0.53V
