SOLUTION :Given : Cellreaction`: 2Cu_((aq))^(+)to Cu_((aq))^(2+)+ Cu_((s))`
`E_(Cu^(+))^(0) | Cu =0.52 V , E_(Ca^(2+)) , Cu^(+)= 0.16 V`
` 1 F =96500 C`
`E_("cell")^(0)= ?Delta G^(@) = ? `
(i) Theformulationof thecell :
`Pt| Cu_((aq))^(+)Cu_((aq))^(2+) "||" Cu_((aq))^(+) | Cu_((s))`
`((LHE .Cu_((aq))^(+) to Cu_((aq))^(+)+ e^(-))/(RHE. Cu_((aq))^(+)toCu_((s))))/(2Cu_((aq))^(+) to Cu_((aq))^(2+) + Cu_((s)))""underset"(Overall cell reaction )"underset"(Reduction atcathode)"("(Oxidation at anode)")`
`:. n=1`
`E_("cell")^(0)= E_(cu^(+) |Cu)- E_(Cu^(+2))^(0).Cu^(+)`
`=0.52- 0.16 =0.36 V`
(ii) `Delta G^(@)=- nFE_("Cell")^(0)=- 1xx 96500 xx 0.36`
`=- 34740 J`
`=- 34.74 kJ`
(ii)If Kis theequilibriumconstantfor theelectrochemicalredox reaction then
`K= ([Cu^(2+)])/([Cu^(+)]^(2)) `
`E_("cell")^(0)= (0.0592)/(n) log_(10) k`
`:. log_(10)K = (nxx E_("cell ")^(0))/(0.0592)`
`=(1xx 0.36)/(0.0592)`
`=6.081 `
`:. K = A16 .081 = 1x2 xx 10^(6) ("MOL" DM^(-3))^(-1)(or "mol"^(-1) dm^(3))`
