Please help with Part C
MISSED THIS? Read Section 20.61 A voltaic cell consists of a Pb/Pb2+ half-cell and aCu/Cu2+ half-cell at 25 What is the initial cell potential? ?C. The initial concentrations of Pb2+ and Cu2+ are 0.0530M and 1.60M, Express your answer using two significant figures. respectively. Ecell ?=Ecell ???n0.0592?YlogQ where Ecell ? is the cell potential in volts, Ecell ?? is the standard cell potential in volts, n is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction, and Q is the reaction quotient. Inserting the values into the equation gives Ecell ?=0.47V?20.0592V?log1.60M0.0530M? - Part B What is the cell potential when the concentration of Cu2+ has fallen to 0.200M ? Express your answer using two significant figures. Correct The balanced equation for this redox reaction is Pb(s)+Cu2+(aq)?Pb2+(aq)+Cu(s) and since the concentration of Cu2+ drops from 1.60M to 0.200M, or a change of 1.40M, then the concentration of Pb2+ will increase proportionally by 1.40M as the stoichiometry is one to one. The cell potential can be calculated using the equation
