 Calculate E for the half cell in which the reaction Cu2+ (0.1 m) + 2e− =
Cu(s) takes place at 25◦C. (Reduction)
Non-standard state conditions
If the conditions are not standard state (concentrations not 1 mol/L,
pressures not 1 atm, temperature not 25°C).
Half-Cell Reactions : Cu2+(aq) + 2e- --> Cu(s) ; Eo red : ( + 0,339 V )
E red = E° red – RT/nF * lnQ ( Applicable at all temperature )
R = the universal gas constant (8.314 J⋅K-1mol-1=8.314 V⋅C⋅K-1mol-1);
T = Kelvin temperature;
F = Faraday's constant (96 485 C/mol e-);
n = number of moles of electrons transferred in the balanced equation
for the cell reaction;
Q = reaction quotient for the reaction aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD
E red = ( + 0.339 V ) – (8.314 J⋅K-1mol-1 ) * (298 K) / 2 * (96.485
C/mol e-) * ln 10-1
E red = ( + 0.309436 V )
