Answer:

a)  cu2+ + 1Hg (l) 1Cl- equilibrium cu (s) + Hg2Cl2 (s)

b)  0.068 V.

Explanation:

A) Cu2+ + 2e- euilibrium cu (s)

 Hg2Cl2 + 2e- equilibrium 2Hg (l) + 1cl-

Cell Reaction: cu2+ + 1Hg (l) 1Cl- equilibrium cu (s) + Hg2Cl2 (s)

B) To calculate the cell voltage

E = E_o Cu2+/Cu - (0.05916 V / 2) log 1/Cu2+

putting values we get

 = 0.339V + (90.05916V/2)log(0.100) = 0.309V

 E_cell = E Cu2+/Cu - E SCE = 0.309 V - 0.241 V = 0.068V.
