For a cell, CusCu2+0.001M)Ag+0.01MAgsthe cell potential is found to be 0.43 V at 298 K. The magnitude of standard electrode potential for Cu2+|Cu is____×10-2 V

Given: EAg+/AgΘ=0.80 V and 2.303RTF=0.06 V

Answer:
34
Solution:

At anode CuCu2++2e-

At cathode 2Ag++2e-2Ag

Cell reaction Cu+2Ag+Cu2++2Ag

Ecell=Ecell0-0.062logCu2+Ag+2

0.43=Ecell0-0.062log0.0010.012

Ecell0=0.46

Ecell0=EAg+/Ag0-ECu2+/Cu0

0.46=0.80-ECu2+/Cu0

ECu2+/Cu0=0.34 volt

ECu2+/Cu0=34×10-2
