Question:

Consider the electroplating of a metal +1 cation from a solution of unknown concentration according to the half-reaction M+(aq) + e–  → M(s), with a standard potential E°. When the half-cell is connected to an appropriate oxidation half-cell and current is passed through it, the M+ cation begins plating out at E1. To what value (E2) must the applied potential be adjusted, relative to E1, if 99.99% of the metal is to be removed from the solution?
