The standard reduction potential for Cu 2+ /Cu is+ 0.34 V.Calculate the reduction potential at pH=14 for the above couple. K sp  of  Cu OH 2 =1× 10 19

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

When pH=14, [ H + ]= 10 14 and[ O H ]=1 M

K sp =[ C u 2+ ] [ O H ] 2 = 10 19

[ C u 2+ ]= 10 19 [ O H ] 2 = 10 19

The half cell reaction

C u 2+ +2 e Cu

E= E O 0.059 2 log 1 [ C u 2+ ]

=0.34 0.059 2 log 1 10 19 =0.22 V
