Question

A galvanic cell is based on the following half-reactions: Ag+ + e- --> Ag (s) E° = 0.80 V Cu2+ + 2 e- --> Cu (s) E° = 0.34 V In this cell, the silver compartment contains a silver electrode, and excess AgCl (s) (Ksp = 1.6 x 10^-10), and the copper compartment contains a copper electrode and [Cu2+] = 2.0 M. Calculate the potential for this cell at 25 °C.

Step 1

First, we need to determine the balanced overall redox reaction. Since the silver half-reaction has one electron and the copper half-reaction has two electrons, we need to multiply the silver half-reaction by 2 to balance the electrons: 2(Ag+ + e- --> Ag Show more…
