The E^(0)(M^(2+)//M) value for copper is...

The `E^(0)(M^(2+)//M)` value for copper is positive `(+0.34V)`. What is possibly the reason for this?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Copper has a high atomization energy `Delta_"a" H"^Theta` and low hydration energy `Delta_"hyd""H"^Theta`.
As a result the`"E"^0`value is positive.
