Question
Some standard electrode potentials include
Cut + e- → Cu (s) EO = 0.520 V
Cu²+ + e- → Cut Eº = 0.159 V
Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu (s)
Eº = 0.340 V
[Cu(CN)2] EO = 1.12 V
Use the information above to calculate the formation constant for [Cu(CN)2], which
is the equilibrium constant for the reaction:
Cu2+ + 2CN + e-
Cut + 2CN [Cu(CN)2]
→
4
