Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency limits the concentration of cadmium ions in drinking water to less than 4 10-8 M. Assess the feasibility of monitoring of cadmium in drinking water using a voltaic cell based on the following half-reactions.
E = +0.7996 V
E = -0.4.030 V
If the silver ion concentration were 1.000 M, what cadmium ion concentration at 298 K would increase the cell potential by 10 mV from the standard cell potential?
A) 0.36 M
B) 4.6 M
C) 0.46 M
D) 0.68 M
E) 6.8 M
