Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionCopper reduces dilute nitric acid to nitric oxide (NO) but reduces concentrated nitric acid to nitrogen dioxide (NO2): Assuming that [Cu2+] = 0.10 M and that the partial pressures of NO and NO2 are 1.0 * 10-3 atm, calculate the potential (E) for reactions (1) and (2) at 25 °C and show which reaction has the greater thermodynamic tendency to occur when the concentration of HNO3 is (a) 1.0 M
