Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 646

Question: The solution of CuSO4 in which copper rod is immersed is diluted to 10 times. The reduction electrode potential

Options:

A) Increases by 30mV

B) Decreases by 30mV

C) Increases by 59mV

D) Decreases by 59mV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] (ECu2+/Cu)1=ECu2+/Cu0+0.0592log[Cu2+]1

[Cu2+(aq)+2eCu(s) and (ECu2+/Cu)2=ECu2+/Cu0+0.0592log[Cu2+]2

ΔECu2+/Cu=0.0592log(C2C1) =0.0592log,10=0.030V=30,mV
