Question

What must be concentration of Ag+ in an aqueous solution
containing Cu2+=1 0 M so that both the metals can be
deposited on the cathode simultaneously Given that E0
cu/cu 2+ =-0 34 and E0
Ag + /Ag = 0 812V,T= 298K

Dear Hardee Shah,

For both the metals to get deposited on cathode the Eocell = 0 Eo Cu2+/Cu = 0
34;  Eo Ag+/Ag = 0
812Eocell = EoAg+/Ag- Eo Cu2+/Cu=0Eocell = {EoAg+/Ag +0
05911log [Ag+]} - {Eo Cu2+/Cu+0
05912log [Cu2+]}0 = {0 812 +0
0591 log  [Ag+]} - {0 34 + 0
02955 log 1}log [Ag+] = 0 34-0 8120
0591=-7 986[Ag+]=10-7 986=1 03 ×10-8

What must be concentration of Ag+ in an aqueous solution containing Cu2+=1.0 M so that both the metals can be deposited on the cathode simultaneously. Given that E0 cu/cu 2+ =-0.34 and E0 Ag + /Ag = 0.812V,T= 298K

What must be concentration of Ag⁺in an aqueous solution containing Cu²⁺=1.0 M so that both the metals can be deposited on the cathode simultaneously. Given that E⁰ _cu/cu ²⁺ ⁼-0.34 and E⁰ _Ag ⁺ _{/Ag = 0.812V,T= 298K}
