Copper reduces NO3 into NO and NO2 depending upon the concentration of HNO3 in solution. (Assuming fixed [Cu2+]andPNO=PNO2 ), the HNO3 concentration at which the thermodynamic tendency for reduction of NO3into NO and NO2by copper is same is 10x M. The value of 2x is…….. (rounded-off to the nearest integer).

[Given,ECu2+/Cu0=0.34V,ENO3/NO0=0.96V,ENO3/NO20=0.79Vandat298K,RTF(2.303)=0.059]

    NO3+4H++3eNO+2H2O;ENO30=0.96V

    Let[HNO3]=yM

    For same thermodynamic tendency of reduction

    ENO3/NO=ENO3/NO2

    0.960.0593logpNOy5=0.790.059logpNO2y3

    Assume (pNO=pNO2=1bar)

    0.17=0.05911logpNO2y3+0.0593logpNOy5

    =0.0593[logpNOy5logp3NO2y9]=0.0593×log[pNOy5×y9p3NO2]=0.0593logy4

    logy4=0.17×30.059y=102.16

    Comparing x = 2.16 and 2x = 4.32

    Nearest integer is 4.
