a voltaic cell is set up at 25degree celcius with the half cellsAg+ (0.001M) I Ag and Cu 2+(0.10M) I Cuwhat should be its cell potential?
Dear student
Please find your answer below to the asked query:
It will be silver instead of aluminium.
For the given voltaic cell
Reaction at anode : Cu(s) Cu2+ (aq)+ 2e- (oxidation half reaction)
Reaction at cathode 2Ag+ (aq)+ 2e- 2Ag (s) (reduction half reaction)
Net reaction : Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq)Cu+2 (aq)+ 2Ag(s)
