Data and Calculations
Part I: Standard Potentials

Cell Number Potential, V Cathode Anode
vs. Ag/AgCl Electrode Electrode

1 (Ag) 0.553 Ag Ag/AgCl
2 (Zn) 0.759 Ag/AgCl Zn
3 (Pb) 0.361 Ag/AgCl Pb
4 (Cu) 0.137 Cu Ag/AgCl

Spontaneous Reaction
(between each half cell and Ag/AgCl reference)
Cell #
1 Ag+ + Ag(s) -> Ag+ + Ag(s)
2 2Ag+ + Zn(s) -> Zn2+ + 2Ag(s)
3 2Ag+ +Pb(s) -> Pb2+ +2Ag(s)
4 Cu2+ + 2Ag(s) -> 2Ag+ + Cu(s)
Using the data from Table 2.1 in the lab manual, type the calculation for the expected E o value for the Cu2+/Cu - Ag/AgCl cell.
(3 pts)
Cu2+/Cu Eo (redox) 0.34V; Ag/AgCl Eo (ox) -0.22V
Eo cell= Eo (red) + Eo (ox)
Eo cell = 0.34V + (-0.22V)
Eo cell= 0.12V
Based on your measured potential for this cell and the literature value for the standard reduction potential for the Ag/AgCl reference
electrode, what would you expect the overall potential to be for the spontaneous reaction between your Cu 2+/Cu electrode and a standard
hydrogen eletrode? Type your calculation for the expected standard reduction potential vs the SHE as well as the % error between this value
and the literature value. (3 pts)
Literature value for the standard reducton potential for Cu 2+/Cu (redox) = 0.34V
Standard reduction potential of Cu2+/Cu (with respect to SHE) = measured potetial + E(Ag/AgCl reference)
0.137 V + 0.22 V = 0.357 V
Percent Error = %error = |actual - theoretical| * 100 = |0.357– 0.34| * 100 = 0.5%
theoretical 0.34
