Gibbs energy of the reaction -

\Delta_{r}G=-nFE_{cell}

- wherein

\Delta _{r}G = gibbs energy of the reaction

E_{cell}= emf of the cell

nF = amount of charge passed

 

 Cu^{2+} (aq) +e^{-}\longrightarrowCu^{+}(aq), E_{1}^\circ =0.15 V

CU^{+}(aq)+e^{-}\longrightarrow Cu, E_{2}^\circ =0.50 V

Now \Delta G^\circ = \Delta G_{1}^\circ+\Delta G_{2}^{\circ}

-nFE^\circ =-n_{1}FE_{1}^\circ-n_{2}FE_{2}^\circ

=> E^\circ =\frac{n_{1}E_{1}^\circ+n_{2}E_{2}^\circ}{n}=\: \frac{1\times.15+1\times.50}{2}

=0.325V


Option 1)

0.500 V
