I'm wondering what to put down where the (? M) is observed on the following slide [see the Cu-Cu reaction] -- is that the correct balanced equation??

Transcribed Image Text:· Nernst Equation (Exp #32)
· You will study a cell containing two different concentrations of
CuSO4 solution
• When two half cells containing the same metal and metal ion are
combined, cell potential should be 0V if concentration does not matter.
· AEcell = (0.342V) - (0.342V) = 0V (for a copper-copper cell)
· However, you observe a positive cell EMF, so concentration must
matter.
· Stems from Nernst Equation
· Reaction is Cu²*(aq)(? M) + Cus → Cus) + Cu²*(aq)(? M)
· Determine placement of concentrations in the reaction through cell set-up
(which cell is reduced?)
- Think about the reaction quotient or Le Chatelier's Principle to deduce
how ammonia and sulfide ion effect this reaction.
