Question: Suppose I have a Pt disk electrode in a solution of Cu 2+ plus 0.1 M KCl versus a saturated calomel electrode (ESCE = 0.242

Suppose I have a Pt disk electrode in a solution of Cu2+ plus 0.1 M KCl versus a saturated calomel electrode (ESCE = 0.242 V). If the E1/2 for Cu2+ reduction is at 0.100 V vs. SCE, what would the E1/2 be if I added 0.10 M NH3 and the following reaction occurred:

Cu2+ + 4NH3  ----------- Cu(NH3)42+ K = 1.1 x 1013
