- Another standard reference electrode is the standard calomel electrode: Hg2Cl2(s) (calomel) + 2e2 Hg() +2 Cl(aq) This electrode is usually constructed with saturated KCI to keep the Cl- concentration constant (similar to what we discussed with the Ag-AgCl electrode). Under these conditions the potential of this half-cell is 0.241 V. A measurement was taken by dipping a Cu wire and a saturated calomel electrode into a CuSO4 solution: saturated calomel electrode potentiometer copper wire CuSO4 a) Write the half reaction for the Cu electrode. b) Write the Nernst equation for the Cu electrode, which will include [Cu2+] c) If the voltage on the potentiometer reads 0.068 V, solve for [Cu²+].arrow_forward2. (Part B). Identify a sequence of FGI that prepares the Synthesis Target 2,4-dimethoxy- pentane. All carbons in the Synthesis Target must start as carbons in either ethyne, propyne or methanol. Hint: use your analysis of Product carbons' origins (Part A) to identify possible structure(s) of a precursor that can be converted to the Synthesis Target using one FGI. All carbons in the Synthesis Target must start as carbons in one of the three compounds below. H = -H H = -Me ethyne propyne Synthesis Target 2,4-dimethoxypentane MeOH methanol OMe OMe MeO.
