Chapter 17, Problem 37E

Consider a battery with the overall reaction: $\text{Cu}\left(s\right)+2{\text{Ag}}^{+}\left(aq\right)\to 2\text{Ag}\left(s\right)+{\text{Cu}}^{2+}\left(aq\right)$.

(a) What is the reaction at the anode and cathode?.

(b) A battery is “dead" when it has no cell potential. What is the value of Q when this battery is dead?.

(c) If a particular dead battery was found to have $\left[{\text{Cu}}^{2+}\right]=0.11M$, what was the concentration of silver ion?
