Standard potential of electrode reaction \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+2}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}+2 \overline{\mathrm{e}} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{s})}\) is +0.34 V . What is standard potential of reaction
\(2 \mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{s})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+2}+4 \overline{\mathrm{e}} ?\)

  1. A \(+0.68 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(-0.68 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(+0.34 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(-0.34 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-0.34 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( E^\circ (\mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{s})} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{+2}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})}+2 \overline{\mathrm{e}}) = -0.34 \mathrm{~V} \) \( E^\circ (2 \mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{s})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+2}+4 \overline{\mathrm{e}}) = -0.34 \mathrm{~V} \)
