Question

An electrochemical cell consists of a silver metal electrode immersed in a solution with [Ag] = 1.00M  Separated by a poorest disc from a compartment with copper metal electrode immersed in a solution of 10.0M NH3 that also contains 3.9x10-3M Cu(NH3)42+

The equilibrium between Cu2+ and NH3 is: Cu2+ + 4NH3 = Cu(NH3)42+  

k =1.0x1013

The two cell half reactions are:

Ag+ + e- = Ag  E° = 0.80V

Cu2++2e- = Cu   E° = 0.34V

Calculate the cell potential at 25°C
