The `E^(@) (M^(2+)//M)` value for copper is positive (0.34 volt). What is possible reason for this

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Reduction potential will depend on
`Cu(s)toCu(g),triangleH(atomisation)`
`(ii)Cu(g)toCu^(2+),(IE_(1)+IE_(2))`
`(iii)Cu^(2+)overset(H_(2)O)toCu^(2+),(triangleH_(Hyd))`
Due to high enthalpy of atomisation and low `triangleH_(hydration)` energy `E^(@)_(cu^(+2)//Cu)`is high
