Chapter 18, Problem 18.76QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The electrolysis of ${\text{Cu}}^{2+}$ ions to Copper metal using Platinum electrode as the cathode and the complete conversion of ${\text{Cu}}^{2+}$ ions to Copper metal is given. The less or more negative potential than $0.34\text{V}$ of the cathode for the complete conversion of ${\text{Cu}}^{2+}$ ions to Copper metal is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Electrolysis is the process that leads to the conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy.

To determine: The value of potential difference across the cell membrane.
