Could I get help with this question (or at least the first few parts to get on the right track)?
![An electrochemical cell consists of a standard hydrogen electrode and a copper metal electrode.
(a) What is the potential of the cell at 25°C if the copper electrode is placed in a solution in which [Cu2+ ] = 3.0x10-4 M?
0.21
X V
(b) If the copper electrode is placed in a solution of 0.43 M NaOH that is saturated with Cu(OH)2, what is the cell potential at 25°C? For Cu(OH)2, Ken = 1.6x10-19.
4.0
(c) The copper electrode is placed in a solution of unknown [Cu2+]. The measured potential at 25°C is 0.210 V. What is [Cu2+ ]? (Assume Cu2+ is reduced.)
4.0
(d) If you wish to construct a calibration curve to show how the cell potential varies with [Cu2+], what should you plot to obtain a straight line?
O 8 versus [H*]
O [Cu2+] versus log [H+]?
O 8° versus [Cu2+]
O [Cu2+] versus [H+]
O 8 versus logl
[Cu²+])
O 8 versus
What will the slope of this line be if the temperature is 25°C?
