A galvanic cell is set up with a Zn electrode in 0.10 M ZnSO₄ and a Cu electrode in an unknown Cu²⁺ solution. At 25 °C the cell EMF is 0.76 V. Standard reduction potentials are E°(Zn²⁺/Zn) = -0.76 V and E°(Cu²⁺/Cu) = +0.34 V. (a) Calculate the concentration of Cu²⁺ in the solution. (b) If a current of 0.50 A is passed for 2.00 h, how many grams of copper will be deposited on the Cu electrode?

Answer Options

A. Cu²⁺ concentration = 1.2×10⁻⁴ M; mass of Cu deposited = 0.85 g
Correct Answer B. Cu²⁺ concentration = 3.3×10⁻¹³ M; mass of Cu deposited = 1.19 g
C. Cu²⁺ concentration = 9.8×10⁻⁸ M; mass of Cu deposited = 0.60 g
D. Cu²⁺ concentration = 5.6×10⁻¹² M; mass of Cu deposited = 2.38 g
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Cu²⁺ concentration = 3.3×10⁻¹³ M; mass of Cu deposited = 1.19 g
