Cu(s) + Cu²⁺(aq)
If the standard potentials of Cu²⁺ and Cu⁺ are +0.34 and +0.52 V,respectively,calculate the value of E^$\circ$ for the given reaction.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard cell potential (E°) for the reaction can be calculated using the standard reduction potentials: E° = E°(Cu²⁺/Cu) - E°(Cu⁺/Cu). Substituting the given values: E° = 0.34 V - 0.52 V = -0.18 V. However, since the reaction involves the oxidation of Cu⁺ to Cu²⁺, the sign is reversed, resulting in +0.18 V.
