Calculate the equilibrium potential of a copper wire immersed in 0.0005 M CuSO4 solution. The standard electrode potential for the reaction Cu2+ + 2e- = Cu0 at 25°C is 0.34 V (NHE). Now, answer the following questions and enter your results (numerical number only). Calculate the ionic strength (M) of the solution. 2.0×10-3 You are correct. Calculate the activity coefficient of Cu2+. 0.82 You are correct. Calculate the equilibrium potential (v) of the copper wire electrode. Note: use activity instead of concentration.
