Question
In the galvanic cell
Sn(s) | Sn2+(aq) || Cu2+(aq) | Cu(s)
the standard potential is 0.48 V. Starting with standard concentrations, what are the concentrations of Sn2+ and Cu2+ when the cell has discharged to a potential of 0.45 V?
A.
[Sn2+] = 0.47 M, [Cu2+] = 1.53 M
B.
[Sn2+] = [Cu2+] = 1.00 M
C.
[Sn2+] = 1.53 M, [Cu2+] = 0.47 M
D.✓ Correct
[Sn2+] = 1.82 M, [Cu2+] = 0.18 M
