The correct Answer is:
To find the standard reduction potential of the copper half-cell (Cu²⁺/Cu), we can use the information provided about the cell and the standard reduction potential of the silver half-cell (Ag⁺/Ag). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of the Cell:** - The cell is represented as: `Cu(s)|Cu²⁺(1M)||Ag⁺(1M)|Ag(s)`. - The given emf (electromotive force) of the cell is 0.46 V. - The standard reduction potential for the Ag⁺/Ag half-cell is given as 0.80 V. 2. **Use the Formula for Cell EMF:** - The formula for the emf of a galvanic cell is: \[ E_{cell} = E_{reduction} - E_{oxidation} \] - In this cell, Ag⁺ is being reduced (gaining electrons) and Cu is being oxidized (losing electrons). 3. **Assign the Potentials:** - Let \( E^\circ_{Cu} \) be the standard reduction potential for the Cu²⁺/Cu half-cell. - The reduction potential for Ag⁺/Ag is given as: \[ E^\circ_{Ag} = 0.80 \, V \] 4. **Set Up the Equation:** - According to the formula: \[ E_{cell} = E^\circ_{Ag} - E^\circ_{Cu} \] - Substituting the known values: \[ 0.46 \, V = 0.80 \, V - E^\circ_{Cu} \] 5. **Solve for \( E^\circ_{Cu} \):** - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ E^\circ_{Cu} = 0.80 \, V - 0.46 \, V \] - Calculating the right side: \[ E^\circ_{Cu} = 0.34 \, V \] 6. **Conclusion:** - The standard reduction potential for the Cu²⁺/Cu half-cell is: \[ E^\circ_{Cu} = 0.34 \, V \] ### Final Answer: The standard reduction potential of \( Cu^{2+}/Cu \) is **0.34 V**.
