A voltic cell is set up at 25^@C with the half cells Ag^(+) (0.001M) Ag and Cu^(2+)(0.10M) . What should be its cell potential.[Ecu=+0.34V,E∘Ag=+0.8V]

Answer»

Solution :`Cu+2AG^(+) to Cu^+ +2Ag`
Half cell REACTIONS:
Cathade (reduction )
`2Ag^+ (0.001M)+2e^(-) to 2Ag(s) `
Anode (oxidation):
`Cu_((s))to Cu^(2+)(0.10M)+2e^-`
`therefore n=2`
`E_(cell)^@=0.46V`
`E_(cell)=E_(cell)^@-0.059/2log""([Cu^(2+)])/([Ag^+]^2)`
`=0.46-0.059/2log""((0.1))/(0.001)^2`
`=0.46-0.059/2log 10^5`
`=0.46 -0.059/2 times (5)`
`=0.46-0.1475`
=0.3125V
