The reduction potentials of
Asked by Ujjwal Kumar | 22nd Sep, 2010, 05:07: PM
Expert Answer:
Oxidation is taking place at Cu electrode and reduction is at Ag.
Hence,
Cu|Cu2+||Ag+|Ag
Cu + 2Ag+......>Cu2+ + 2Ag
here, n=2
and, Eo=.80-.34=.46V
and by using the formula:
E cell = Eo - (.0592/2) log10 (Cu2+/(Ag+)2 )
0=.46V-.0592/2 log(.1/(Ag+)2)
Ag+=5*10-9 M
