General Chemistr Edition this question has been customized by Paul DiMilla at Northeastern University Donald McQuarrie Peter A. Rock.Ethan Gallogly Determine the standard cell potential, E cel, for the following reaction. Standard reduction potentials may be found on-line here or in Appendix Bon pp. 255-257 of the textbook. +Ag(s) Number orrect ou may have added two standard reduction potentials. You need to subtract the standard reduction potential for the inverse of the oxidation half-reaction from the standard reduction potential for the reduction half reaction. Map deb

Explanation / Answer

oxidation :   at anode

Cu (s) -------------------------> Cu+ (aq) + e-   , Eo = +0.52

reduction: at cathode

Ag+ (aq) + e- ---------------------> Ag (s)    , Eo = +0.80 V

Eo cell = Eo cathode - Eo anode

            = 0.80 - 0.52

            = 0.28 V

Eocell = 0.28 V -------------------------------> answer
