Answer: The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.62 V.

Explanation:

For the given chemical equation:

3Cu(s)+2NO_3^-(aq)+8H^+(aq.)\rightarrow 3Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2NO(g)+4H_2O(l)

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

Oxidation half reaction:  Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s);E^o_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}=0.34V     ( × 3 )

Reduction half reaction:  NO_3^-(aq.)+4H^+(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow NO(g)+2H_2O(l);E^o=0.96V    ( × 2 )

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

E^o_{cell}=0.96-(0.34)=0.62V

Hence, the standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.62 V.

Ecell = E∘ (products) - E∘ (reactants) Ecell = (2(-0.96 V) + 0.34 V + 0.00 V) - (3(-0.45 V) + 0.95 V) Ecell = ( -1.88 V + 0.34 V + 0.00 V) - (-1.35 V + 0.95 V) Ecell = -1.54 V Part B What type of redox reaction is occurring? This redox reaction is an oxidation reduction reaction, also known as a redox reaction. Oxidation occurs when the oxidation number of a species increases, while reduction occurs when the oxidation number of a species decreases. In this reaction, the oxidizing agent is NO−3 and the reducing agent is Cu. NO−3 is oxidized, losing three electrons to become NO, while Cu is reduced, gaining two electrons to become Cu2+.
