8.4 The E0 (M2+/M) value of a metal depends on the energy changes involved in the following reactions:
1. Sublimation energy: The energy needed to convert one mole of atoms from a solid state to gaseous
2. Ionization energy: The energy supplied to remove electrons from one mole of atoms, which are in the gaseous
3. Hydration energy: The energy emitted to hydrate one mole of
Now, copper has a high ionisation energy and low hydration energy. Hence, the E0 (M2+/M) value for copper is positive.
