Solutions

Expert Solution

part A

Cu2+ + 2e- ---> Cu(s) E0 = +0.337 v (involves in reduction)

Pb2+ + 2e- ---> Pb(s) E0 = -0.126 v (involves in oxidation)

cell reaction : Pb(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ----> Pb^2+(aq) + Cu(s)

E0cell = E0cathode- E0anode

= 0.337- - 0.126

= 0.463 v

Ecell = E0cell - (0.0591/n)log([Cu^2+]/[Pb2+])

= 0.463- (0.0591/2)log(0.053/1.6)

= 0.507 v

part B

cell reaction : Pb(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ----> Pb^2+(aq) + Cu(s)

E0cell = E0cathode- E0anode

= 0.337- - 0.126

= 0.463 v

Ecell = E0cell - (0.0591/n)log([Cu^2+]/[Pb2+])

= 0.463- (0.0591/2)log(0.053/0.23)

= 0.482 v

part C

Ecell = E0cell - (0.0591/n)log([Cu^2+]/[Pb2+])

0.36 = 0.463- (0.0591/2)log((0.053+x)/(1.6-x))

x = 1.59

[Pb^2+] = 0.053+1.59 = 1.64M

[Cu2+]= 1.6-1.59 = 0.01 M
