The figure shows NCERT's standard electrode potentials for copper at : and . The potential of the couple is not given. In water, copper(I) ions react with one another: . This is why most simple copper(I) salts do not last in solution. Take . Remember that electrode potentials cannot simply be added or subtracted when the numbers of electrons differ, but Gibbs energies can. Assume the solution is ideal and the temperature stays at . What is the equilibrium constant of this reaction at ?
