\(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}(a q)\) is unstable in solution and undergoes simultaneous oxidation and reduction, according to the reaction
\(2 \mathrm{Cu}^{+}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cu}(s)\)
choose correct \(E^{\circ}\) for above reaction if
\(E_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} / \mathrm{Cu}}^{\circ}=0.34 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(E_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} / \mathrm{Cu}^{+}}^{\circ}=0.15 \mathrm{~V}\)
- A \(-0.38 \mathrm{~V}\)
- B \(+0.49 \mathrm{~V}\)
- C \(+0.38 \mathrm{~V}\)
- D \(-0.19 \mathrm{~V}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(+0.38 \mathrm{~V}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Oxidation: \( \mathrm{Cu}^{+}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q) + e^{-} \) \( E^{\circ}_{ox} = -E^{\circ}_{\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} / \mathrm{Cu}^{+}} = -0.15 \mathrm{~V} \)
