Chapter 19, Problem 157

A concentration cell has the same half-reactions at the anode and cathode, but a voltage results from different concentrations in the two electrode compartments. (b) A similar cell has 0.10 M Cu2+ in both compartments. When a stoichiometric amount of ethylenediamine (NH2CH2CH2NH2) is added to one compartment, the measured cell potential is 0.179 V. Calculate the formation constant Kf for the complex ion Cu(NH2CH2CH2CH2)22+. Assume there is no volume change.
