Question

The $E^{o}$ reduction for $C u / C u S$ electrode is $- x$ . Find the value of $x$ .
(Given: $K_{s p}$ for $C u S = 8.0 \times 10^{- 36}; E_{(C u / C u^{2 +})}^{o} = - 0.34 V; l o g 2 = 0.3; \frac{2.303 R T}{F} = 0.06$ )

Solution

$A n o d e : C u ⇌ C u^{2 +} + 2 e^{-}$
$C a t h o d e : C u S + 2 e^{-} ⇌ C u + S^{2 -}$
$C e l l r e a c t i o n : C u S ⇌ C u^{2 +} + S^{2 -}$

Cell is in equilibrium, therefore $E_{c e l l} = 0$
$∴ E_{c e l l} = E_{c e l l}^{o} - \frac{0.06}{2} l o g K_{s p}$

$E_{C u / C u S}^{o} - 0.34 = - 1.053$
$E_{C u / C u S}^{o} = - 0.713 V$
