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?? 

· 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.
