  • question_answer
    Standard electrode potential of \[A{{g}^{+}}/Ag\] and \[C{{u}^{+}}/Cu\] is \[+0.80V\] and \[+0.34V\] respectively. these electrodes are joint together by salt bridge if         [AMU 2002]

    A)                 Copper electrode is work like cathode, then \[E_{cell}^{o}\] is \[+0.45V\]

    B)                 Silver electrode is work like anode then \[E_{cell}^{o}\] is \[-0.34V\]

    C)                 Copper electrode is work like anode then \[E_{cell}^{o}\] is \[+0.46V\]

    D)                 Silver electrode is work like cathode then \[E_{cell}^{o}\] is \[-0.34V\]

    E)                 Silver electrode is work like anode then \[E_{cell}^{o}\] will be  \[+1.14V\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Cell reaction is                    \[C{{u}_{(s)}}+2A{{g}^{+}}\to C{{u}^{2+}}+2Ag\]                    Two half cell reaction is                    \[Cu\to C{{u}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\]            Oxidation (anode)                    \[A{{g}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\to Ag\] Reduction (cathode)                                 \[{{E}_{Cell}}={{E}_{ox}}-{{E}_{\operatorname{Re}d}}=0.80-0.34=+0.46V\]
