2 A g + ( a q ) + C u ( s ) ⇌ C u 2 + ( a q ) + 2 A g ( s ) The standard potential E ° for this reaction is 0.46 V. Which change will increase the potential the most?
Options
- ADoubling the [ A g + ]
- BHalving the [ C u 2 + ]
- CDoubling the size of the Cu(s) electrode
- DDecreasing the size of the Ag electrode by one-half
Correct answer
A. Doubling the [ A g + ]
Step-by-step solution
E = E ° - 0.059 2 l o g [ C u 2 + ] [ A g + ] 2 The cell potential will increase the most by doubling the concentration of A g + ion.
