Question

The Eo reduction for Cu/CuS electrode is x. Find the value of x.
(Given: Ksp for CuS=8.0×1036;Eo(Cu/Cu2+)=0.34 V;log 2=0.3;2.303RTF=0.06)

Open in App
Solution

Anode:CuCu2++2e
Cathode:CuS+2eCu+S2
Cell reaction:CuSCu2++S2

Cell is in equilibrium, therefore Ecell=0
Ecell=Eocell0.062log Ksp

EoCu/CuS0.34=1.053
EoCu/CuS=0.713 V
