Question
6. Suppose you wish to separate Cd²+ from Zn²+ by electrodeposition of metallic cadmium onto an inert
cathode from an aqueous solution containing 0.015 M Cd(NH3)4²+, 0.010 M Zn(NH3)4²+, and 1.00 M
uncomplexed NH3. You want to deposit 99.99% of the Cd while not depositing any Zn. What is the
allowable range of potentials that you can use?
Cd(NH3)4²+ + 2e = Cd(s) + 4 NH3
Zn(NH3)4²+ + 2e → Zn(s) + 4 NH3
E = -0.61 V vs. SHE
E° -1.04 V vs. SHE
