What is standard reduction potential of \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} \mid \mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{s})}\) if \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ}\) of following cell is 0.46 ?
\(\mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{s})}\left|\mathrm{cu}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{2+} \| \mathrm{Ag}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+}\right| \mathrm{Ag}_{(\mathrm{s})} ; \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ag}^{+} / \mathrm{Ag}}^{\circ}=0.80 \mathrm{v} \mid\)

  1. A \(1.56 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(0.34 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(1.44 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(1.26 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.34 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ag}}^{\circ}-\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{cu}}^{\circ} \\ & 0.46=0.80-\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ} \\ & \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{cu}}^{\circ}=0.34 \mathrm{v}\end{aligned}\)
