Question: It is desired to separate silver in a solution that is 0 . 0 6 0 0 M B i O + , 0 .

It is desired to separate silver in a solution that is 0.0600MBiO+,0.116MCu2+,0.0966MAg+, and 0.500MHClO4 by controlled-potential electrolysis.
Ag+(aq)+1e-Ag(s),E=0.799V
Cu2++2e-longrightarrowCu(s),E=0.337V
BiO+(aq)+2H+(aq)+3e-longrightarrowBi(s)+H2O(l),E=0.320V
Between what cell potentials can silver be quantitatively removed from the solution without also removing one of the othe ions using controlled-potential electrolysis? Use 1.0010-6M as the criterion for quantitative removal. Report all cell potentials versus ). List the higher (more positive) potential first.
