Solution

The correct option is C $0.521 V$
The half-cell reactions are:
$C u^{2 +} + 2 e^{-} \to C u, E^{o} = 0.337 V ∴ Δ G = - n F E^{o} \Rightarrow Δ G = - 2 F \times 0.337 V$
$C u^{2 +} + 2 e^{-} \to C u, Δ G = - 2 F \times 0.337 V . . . (i)$

$C u^{+} \to C u^{2 +} + e^{-}, E^{o} = - 0.153 V \Rightarrow Δ G = 1 F \times 0.153 V$
$C u^{+} \to C u^{2 +} + e^{-}, Δ G = 1 F \times 0.153 V . . . (i i)$

By adding $(i)$ and $(i i)$ , we get
$C u^{+} + e^{-} \to C u, Δ G = (- 2 F \times 0.337 V) + (1 F \times 0.153 V) = - 0.521 F V As, Δ G = - n F E^{o} \Rightarrow - 0.521 F V = - F E^{o} ∴ E^{o} = 0.521 V$
