1.

Which one is correct among the following give, the half cell emf'sE^(0) Cu^(+2)//Cu=0.337V and E_(Cu^(+1)//Cu)^(0) = 0.521 V

Answer»

`Cu^(+1)` DISPROPORTIONATES
Cu and `Cu^(+2)` comproportionates
`E_(Cu//Cu^(+2))^(0) + E_(Cu^(+)//Cu)^(0)` is POSITIVE
`E_(Cu//Cu^(+2))^(0) + E_(Cu^(+)//Cu)^(0)` is negative

Solution :
and also
`Cu^(+2) + 2e^(-) to Cu , DeltaG_1^(0) = -2 xx 0.337 , 2Cu^(+1) + 2e^(-) to 2Cu , DeltaG_2^(0) = -2 xx 0.521`
`Cu+ 2Cu^(+1) to Cu^(+2) + 2Cu , DeltaG_3^(0) = -2 xx E^(0) , E^(0) = 0.521 - 0.337 = + (0.184V)`
