Question

The standard electrode potential value of Copper is +0.34 V. What is the possible reason for this ?

Open in App

Solution

The reason for this is sum of enthalpies of sublimation and ionisation is not balanced by hydration enthalpy.
That is copper has low hydration enthalpy. This does not compensate the enthalpy of I and II ionisation energy of copper and sublimation energy
