  1. Copper is to be deposited from a solution that is 0.200 M in Cu(II) and is buffered to a pH of 4.00. Oxygen is evolved from the anode at a partial pressure of 0.974 atm. The cell has a resistance of 3.60 Ω. The temperature is 25 oC.

Cu2+ + 2e- = Cu(s)               Eo = .339V

½ O2 + 2H+ + 2e- = H2O        Eo = 1.229V

Calculate:

  1. the theoretical potential, Ecell, needed to initiate deposition of copper from this solution.
  2. the IR drop associated with a current of 0.10 A in this cell.
  3. the initial potential, given that the overvoltage of oxygen is 0.50 V under these conditions.
  4. the potential of the cell when [Cu2+] is 8.00 x 10-6M, assuming that IR drop and O2 overvoltage remain unchanged.
