Question

The standard reduction potential of Cu2+ / Cu and Cu2+ / Cu+ are 0.339V and 0.153 V respectively. The standard electrode potential of Cu+ / Cu half- cell is :

Options

A.0.184 V
B.0.827 V
C.0.525 V
D.0.490 V

Solution

Cu2+ + 2e → Cu ;           - ᐃGo1
Cu2+ + e → Cu+ ;           - ᐃGo2

Half recaction Cu+ + e → Cu ;      - ᐃGo3 = - ᐃGo1 + ᐃGo2
or      n × Eo3F = n1 Eo1 F - n2 Eo2 F
       Eo3 =
       = = 0.525V
