Copper reduced `NO_(3)^(-)` into `NO` and `NO_(2)` depending upon conc.of `HNO_(3)` in solution. Assuming `[Cu^(2+)] = 0.1M`, and `P_(NO) = P_(NO_(2)) = 10^(-3)` atm and using data answer the following questions: `E_(Cu^(2+)//Cu)^(@) =+ 0.34` volt, at `298K (RT)/(F) (2.303) = 0.06` volt `E_(cell)` for reduction of `NO_(3)^(-) rarr NO` by `Cu(s)` when `[HNO_(3)] = 1M` is [At `t = 298]`A. `~0.61`B. `~0.71`C. `~0.51`D. `~0.81` |

Answer» Correct Answer - B `(3e^(-) +4H^(+) +NO_(3)^(-) rarr NO +2_(2)O) xx2` `(Cu rarr Cu^(+2) +2e^(-)) xx 3` `E = 0.96 -0.34 -(0.0591)/(6) log.([NO]^(2)[Cu^(+2)]^(3))/([NO_(3)^(-)]^(2)[H^(+)]^(8))` ..(i) since `[HNO_(3)] = 1M` so `[H^(+)] = [NO_(3)^(-)] = 1` `E = 0.62 -(0.0591)/(6) log (10^(-3))^(2) (0.1)^(3) = 0.70865` `E = 0.62 -(0.0591)/(6)log (10^(-3))^(2) (0.1)^(3) = 0.70865` |
