AIPMT PRELIMS 2011 Chemistry Electrode Potentials MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

The electrode potentials for Cu²⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Cu⁺(aq) and Cu⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Cu(s) are +0.15 V and +0.50 V respectively. The value of E° for Cu²⁺/Cu will be

A

0.150 V

B

0.500 V

C

0.325 V

D

0.650 V

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

ΔG₃ = ΔG₁ + ΔG₂. Therefore, E° = 0.65/2 = 0.325 volt.
