Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.49QE
A half-cell that consists of a copper wire in a 1.00 M Cu(NO3)2 solution is connected by a salt bridge to a solution that is 1.00 M in both Pu3+ and Pu4+, and contains an inert metal electrode. The voltage of the cell is 0.642 V, with the copper as the negative electrode.
- (a) Write the half-reactions and the overall equation for the spontaneous
chemical reaction . - (b) Use the standard potential of the copper half-reaction, with the voltage of the cell, to calculate the standard reduction potential for the plutonium half-reaction.

Some important notes:
• Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below.
• If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead.
• Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products that are
enantiomers.
