Question
Consider the titration of 100.0 mL of 0.010 M Ce4+ in 1 M HClO4 by 0.0400 M Cu+ to give Ce3+ and Cu2+, using Pt and saturated Ag | AgCl electrodes to find the end point.
(a) Select a balanced titration reaction.
Ce4+ + Cu2+ Ce3+ + Cu+ Ce4+ + Cu+ Ce3+ + Cu2+ Ce3+ + Cu2+ Ce4+ + Cu+Ce4+ + Cu2+ Ce3+ + Cu+
(b) Select two different half-reactions for the indicator electrode.
(c) Select two different Nernst equations for the cell voltage.
(d) Calculate E at the following volumes of Cu+.
Explanation / Answer
a.) Ce4+ + Cu+ --> Cu2+ + Ce3+
b.) Ce4+ + e- ---> Ce3+
Cu+ ---> Cu2+ + e-
c.) E= 0.161-0.05916 log(Cu2+/Cu+) and E= 1.70-0.05916 log(Ce3+/Ce4+)
