A copper concentration cell is set up using a half-cell containing 1.0 M CuSO4 and another half-cell containing an equilibrium mixture of Cu2(aq), Cu(NH3)4 2+(aq), and NH3(aq), in which the concentrations of Cu(NH3)4 2+ and NH3 are 0.010 M and 3.0 M, respectively. (a) If Kf for the formation of Cu(NH3)4 2+ given in equation (eq.8) is 5.6 x 10^11, what is the equilibrium concentration of Cu2+(aq)? (b) What is the expected Ecell for this voltaic cell set up?
