Write the net cell equation for the electrochemical cell. Phases are optional. Do not include the concentrations.
Cu(s)∣∣Cu2+(aq,0.0155 M)∥∥Ag+(aq,3.50 M)∣∣Ag(s)Cu(s)|Cu2+(aq,0.0155 M)‖Ag+(aq,3.50 M)|Ag(s)
net cell equation:
Calculate E∘cellEcell° and EcellEcell at 25 °C25 °C, using standard potentials as needed.
oxidation : Cu (s) ----------> Cu2+ (aq) + 2e-
Reduction : Ag+ (aq) + e- ----------> Ag (s)
______________________________________________
overall : Cu (s) + 2 Ag+ (aq) ---------> Cu2+ (aq) + 2 Ag (s)
Eocell = Eored - Eooxidation
= 0.799 - 0.337
Eocell = 0.462 V
Ecell = Eo - 0.05916 / 2 log [Cu2+ / Ag+^2]
= 0.462 - 0.05916 / 2 log [0.0155 / 3.50^2 ]
Ecell = 0.548 V
