Question
A student wishes to determine the
chloride ion concentration in a water
sample at 25 °C using a galvanic cell
constructed with a graphite
electrode and a half-cell of
AgCl(s) + e → Ag(s) + Cl(aq) Eºred
= 0.2223 V
And a copper electrode with 0.500 M
Cu²+ as the second half cell
Cu²+ (aq) + 2 e → Cu(s) Eºred= 0.337
V
The measured cell potential when
the water sample was placed into the
silver side of the cell was 0.0595 V.
Write the balanced equation for the
overall reaction in acidic solution.
