Question
2. (a) A voltaic cell is constructed as follows: Zn | Zn²+ | H*|H₂
The half-cell reactions are:
Zn →Zn²+ze E = 0.76 V
If the voltage of the cell is 0.45V at 25°C when [Zn²] = 1.0 M and PH₂ = 1.0 atm, what is [H+]?
2H+ + 2e- → H₂
EⓇ = 0.0V
(b) For the voltaic cell described in part (a), find the pH of the cathodic solution when pH2 =
1.0 atm and [Zn²+]= 0.1 M and the E*cell = 0.542 V.
(c) What amount of time is needed to plate 2.08 g of copper at a constant current flow
of 1.26 A from a 0.1 M CUSO4 solution? Cu²+ +ze--- Cu(s)
