### 14.9 ch 14

Hello! I was wondering if someone could explain how to get started/ work through on this problem a bit confused?

The Question is:
A student was given a standard Cu(s)| Cu^2+ (aq) half-cell and another half-cell containing an unknown metal M immersed in 1.00 M M(NO3)2 (aq). When the copper was connected as the anode at 25C, the cell potential was found to be -0.689 V. What is the reduction potential for the unknown M2+/M couple?

I know I need to solve for the E for copper and then plug into E=E(cathode)-E(anode) but I’m not sure which equation to use?

Okay so I just realized the cell potential for Cu is given so then you just plug in:
-0.689 V=E(cathode)-(0.34V)
to get the reduction potential of the anode

Return to “Work, Gibbs Free Energy, Cell (Redox) Potentials”
