Problem Context
3 Cu+(aq) + Au3+(aq) → 3 Cu2+(aq) + Au(s)
A student studying the reaction represented above constructs a voltaic cell as shown in the diagram below.
[VISUAL]
The cell contains an Au(s) electrode in a beaker containing 1.00 M Au(NO3)3(aq) and a Pt(s) electrode in a beaker containing 1.00 M CuNO3(aq) and 1.00 M Cu(NO3)2(aq).
The standard reduction potentials associated with the cell are given in the following table.
| Half-reaction | E° (V) |
|---|---|
| Cu2+(aq) + e− → Cu+(aq) | 0.16 |
| Au3+(aq) + 3 e− → Au(s) | 1.50 |
