At what concentration of copper sulphate solution , the potential of Cu^(2+), Cu becomes zero? The standrd reduction potential of Cu^(2+), Cu is 0.34 V.

Answer»

Solution :`E = E^@ + (0.059)/n log C "(or)" 0 = 0.34 + (0.059)/2 log [Cu^(2+)]`
`0.0295 log [Cu^(2+)] = -0.34 " (or) " log [Cu^(2+)] = -(0.34)/(0.0295) = -11.57`
CONCENTRATION of `CuSo_4 = 10^(-11.57) = 10^(-12 + 0.43) = 2.9 xx 10^(-12)M`.
