Question

A copper penny dropped into a solution of nitric acid produces a mixture of nitrogen oxides. The following overall balanced reaction describes the formation of nitrogen monoxide, one of the products:

3 Cu(s)+8 H+(aq)+2 NO3−(aq) → 2 NO(g)+3 Cu2+(aq)+4 H2O(l)

A.) Identify the Oxidant the the Reductant

B.)Calculate E∘ for this reaction at 25 ∘C.

C.) Calculate ΔG∘ for this reaction at 25 ∘C

D.) Calculate the reaction potential at 25 ∘C when [NO3−]= 0.075 M, [Cu2+]= 0.0076 MM, [NO]= 0.010 MM, and the pH is 0.00.
