A copper electrode is dipped in 0.1 M copper sulphate solution at 25^(@)C. Calculate the electrode potential of copper. ["Given :" E_(Cu^(2+)|Cu)^(@)=0.34]

Answer»

SOLUTION :GIVEN that
`[CU^(2+)]=0.1M`
`E_(Cu^(2+)|Cu)^(@)=0.34`
`E_("cell")=?`
Cell reaction is
`Cu_((AQ))^(2+)+2e^(-) rarr Cu_((s))`
`E_("cell")=E^(@)-0.0591/nlog""([Cu])/([Cu^(2+)])`
`""=0.34""0.0591/2log""1/0.1`
`""=0.34-0.0296`
`=0.31V`.
