A copper penny dropped into a solution of nitric acid produces a mixture of nitrogen oxides. The following reaction describes the formation of NO, one
of the products.
3Cu(s)+8H*(aq) + 2NO,(aq)
→ 2NO(g) +3Cu²+(aq) + 4H,0(1)
Using the provided standard potentials, calculate E°cell for this reaction.
4H*(aq) + NO,(aq) +3e¯ →
NO(g) + 2H,0(1) E° = 0.96 V
Cu2+ (aq) +2e¯
→ Cu(s) E° = 0.3419 V
