The correct Answer is:
To find the standard reduction potential \( E^{\circ}_{\text{red}} \) for the reaction \( \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Cu} \) in the half-cell \( \text{Pt}_{(S^{2}|CuS|Cu)} \), we can use the Nernst equation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: - The standard reduction potential \( E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} = 0.34 \, \text{V} \). - The solubility product \( K_{sp} \) of \( \text{CuS} = 10^{-35} \). - The reaction we are interested in is \( \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Cu} \). 2. **Set Up the Nernst Equation**: The Nernst equation at equilibrium (where \( E_{\text{cell}} = 0 \)) can be expressed as: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K \] Here, \( n \) is the number of electrons transferred (which is 2 for this reaction), and \( K \) is the equilibrium constant, which in this case is related to \( K_{sp} \) of \( \text{CuS} \). 3. **Equilibrium Condition**: At equilibrium, \( E_{\text{cell}} = 0 \): \[ 0 = E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log K_{sp} \] 4. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging gives: \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} = \frac{0.0591}{2} \log K_{sp} \] 5. **Substituting Known Values**: Substitute \( K_{sp} = 10^{-35} \): \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} = 0.34 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log(10^{-35}) \] 6. **Calculating the Logarithm**: The logarithm can be calculated: \[ \log(10^{-35}) = -35 \] 7. **Final Calculation**: Substitute this value back into the equation: \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} = 0.34 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \times (-35) \] \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} = 0.34 + \frac{0.0591 \times 35}{2} \] \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} = 0.34 + 1.03425 \] \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} = 0.34 - 0.6925 \] \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} = -0.3525 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer: The standard reduction potential \( E^{\circ}_{\text{red}} \) for the reaction \( \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Cu} \) is approximately \( -0.3525 \, \text{V} \).

To find the standard reduction potential \( E^{\circ}_{\text{red}} \) for the reaction \( \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Cu} \) in the half-cell \( \text{Pt}_{(S^{2}|CuS|Cu)} \), we can use the Nernst equation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: - The standard reduction potential \( E^{\circ}_{\text{Cu}^{2+}/Cu} = 0.34 \, \text{V} \). - The solubility product \( K_{sp} \) of \( \text{CuS} = 10^{-35} \). - The reaction we are interested in is \( \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Cu} \). ...
