For the disproportionation of copper 2Cu+------ Cu2+ + Cu, E(standard)cell is (given E for Cu2+/Cu is 0.34V and E for Cu2+/Cu+ is 0.15V)

1- 0.49V 2- -0.19V

3- 0.38V 4- -0.38V

2Cu+​ .....................   Cu2+   +   Cu           Eocell=  ?

Cu2+  +  2e .....................    Cu                   ECu2+/Cu= 0.34V

Cu2+ +  e .....................        Cu+                  ECu2+/Cu+= 0.15V

Cu+  +  e     ....................      Cu​                ECu+/Cu  =  0.53V

So, ​  EoCu+/Cu2+=   0.53-0.15  =   0.38V
