Question

Given the E° for the following half-reactions:

Cu+ + e-Cu° E°red=0.52V
Cu2+ + 2e-Cu° E°red=0.34V

What is E° for the reaction:
Cu+Cu2+ +e-

Answer 1

@Rushwr

Answer 2

\[cu ^{2+} + e --> Cu ^{0}\] \[E_{reduction} 0.34V\]

\[Cu ^{+} +e --> Cu ^{0} \] \[E_{reduction} = 0.52V\]

Answer 3

\[Cu ^{+} --> Cu ^{2+ } + e \] this is the final reaction

Answer 4

We play around with the half reactions for a bit until we can start canceling stuff out.
