Given: (i) `Cu^(2+)+2e^(-)toCu," "E^(o)=0.337V` (ii) `Cu^(2+)+e^(-)toCu^(+)," "E^(o)=0.153V` Electrode potential, `E^(o)` for the reaction, `Cu^(+)+e^(-)toCu`, will beA. 0.52 VB. 0.90 VC. 0.30 VD. 0.38 V

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`DeltaG^(@)=nFE^(@)`
For, `Cu^(2+)+2e^(-)toCu,DeltaG_(1)^(@)=-2F(0.337)` . . . . (i)
`Cu^(2+)+e^(-)toCu^(+),DeltaG_(2)^(@)=-F(0.153)` . . . (ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i),
`Cu^(+)+e^(-)toCu`
`DeltaG^(@)=-0.674F+0.153F` . . . (iii)
`nFE^(@)=-0.521F`
`because`For (iii), n=1, `thereforeE^(@)=0.521V`.
