Question

5.2 An electrochemical cell consists of Zn in a $ZnSO_4$ solution and Cu in a $CuSO_4$ solution. The $CuSO_4$ solution has a concentration of 100 mM. What would be the minimal concentration of a $ZnSO_4$ solution to drive the reaction in the $Cu^{2+}/Cu$ half-cell towards $Cu^{2+}$? $E^0(Zn^{2+}/Zn) = -0.76 V$, $E^0(Cu^{2+}/Cu) = 0.34 V$.
