    The electrode potentials for
    \[C{{u}^{2+}}(aq)+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{u}^{+}}(aq)\]
    and \[C{{u}^{+}}(aq)+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cu(s)\]
    are +0.15 V and + 0.50 V respectively. The value of \[E_{C{{u}^{2+}}/Cu}^{o}\]will be

    A)  0.150V     

    B)  0.325V

    C)  0.500V     

    D)  0.650V

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[Cu_{aq}^{2+}+e\xrightarrow{{}}Cu_{aq}^{+};\]\[\Delta G_{1}^{o}=-[1\times 0.15\times F]\] \[Cu_{aq}^{+}+e\xrightarrow{{}}Cu;\] \[\Delta G_{2}^{O}=-[1\times 0.50\times f]\] On adding \[\therefore \]\[Cu_{aq}^{2+}+2e\xrightarrow{{}}Cu;\] \[\Delta G_{3}^{o}=-[2\times E_{3}^{o}\times F]\] \[\therefore \]\[2E_{1}^{o}=0.65\,V\]or \[E_{3}^{o}=0.325\,V\]
