The overall reaction for the production of Cu(OH)2 from Cu in oxygenated water can be broken into three steps: an
- a. Complete and balance the two missing half-reactions to give the overall equation for the oxidation of cooper in seawater.
Oxidation half-reaction: ?
Reduction half-reaction: ?
- b. Determine the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction at 25 °C using standard reduction potentials and the solubility product constant (Ksp) of Cu(OH)2(s).
