An Electrochemical Cell at 298 K Is Composed of Two \rightarrow

Question 99

Multiple Choice

An electrochemical cell at 298 K is composed of two compartments, labeled C1 and C2.
C1 consists of a copper metal electrode immersed in a 0.30 M copper sulfate solution.
C2 consists of a copper metal electrode immersed in a 1.5 M copper sulfate solution.
Cu2+ + 2e- \rightarrow Cu, EredE _ { \mathrm { red } } ^ { \circ } = +0.34 V
Which statement regarding this electrochemical cell is not correct?


A) The reaction continues until the copper ion concentrations in the two cells are equal.
B) The initial cell potential = 0.02 V.
C) The cell potential gradually decreases to 0.0 V.
D) The standard cell potential is +0.34 V.
E) Reduction occurs in compartment C2.
