Question: Here's a cell you'll really like: The cell solution was made by mixing 25.0 mL of 4.00 mM KCN 25.0 mL of 4.00 mM KCu(CN)
Here's a cell you'll really like:
![]()
The cell solution was made by mixing
25.0 mL of 4.00 mM KCN
25.0 mL of 4.00 mM KCu(CN)2
25.0 mL of 0.400 M acid, HA, with pKa = 9.50
25.0 mL of KOH solution
The measured voltage was -0.440 V. Calculate the molarity of the KOH solution. Assume that essentially all copper(I) is Cu(CN)-2 . A little HCN comes from the reaction of KCN with HA. Neglect the small amount of HA consumed by reaction with HCN. For the right half-cell, the reaction is Cu-2+e- ⇌ Cu(s) + 2CN-. Suggested procedure: From E, find [CN]. From [CN], find pH. From pH, figure out how much OH had been added.
Ag(s)| AgCl(s)| KCI(aq, saturated) || cell solution | Cu(s)
