Can chlorine gas be stored in a copper cylinder? Given `E_(Cu^(2+),Cu)^(@)=0.34V and E_(Cl^(2),Cl^(-))^(@)=1.36V`

Explanation

To determine whether chlorine gas (Cl₂) can be stored in a copper cylinder, we need to analyze the electrochemical reaction between copper and chlorine. Here’s a step-by-step solution:

### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions
The relevant half-reactions for copper and chlorine are:
1. For copper:
\[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu} \quad (E^\circ = 0.34 \, \text{V}) \]
