Abstract: | The value of the ratio \(\gamma _{{\text{Cu}}^{{\text{2 + }}} } /\gamma _{{\text{Ag}}^{\text{ + }} }^2 \) ( \(\gamma _{{\text{Cu}}^{{\text{2 + }}} } ,\gamma _{{\text{Ag}}^{\text{ + }} } \) -are the mean activity coefficients of copper and silver ions, respectively) was calculated from the measured emf of the cell $${\text{Cu(Hg)|H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{SO}}_{\text{4}} {\text{ (}}c_{\text{x}} {\text{)}} - {\text{CuSO}}_{\text{4}} {\text{ (}}c_{\text{y}} {\text{)|Hg}}_{\text{2}} {\text{SO}}_{\text{4}} {\text{, Hg}}$$ and the solubility of Ag2SO4 in H2SO4 (c x) and CuSO4 (c y) solutions. The concentration of H2SO4 in the solution was varied from 0.5 to 2.1 mol dm?3 that of CuSO4 from 0.4 mol dm?3 to saturation. The results were presented as a function: $$\frac{{\gamma _{{\text{Cu}}^{{\text{2 + }}} } }}{{\gamma _{{\text{Ag}}^{\text{ + }} }^2 }} = a_0 + a_1 c_{\text{x}} + a_2 c_{\text{y}} + a_3 c_{\text{x}}^{\text{2}} + a_4 c_{\text{x}} c_{\text{y}} + a_5 c_{\text{y}}^2 .$$ This function allows the estimation of the equilibrium silver ion concentration \(c_{{\text{Ag}}^{\text{ + }} }^{{\text{eq}}} \) in solutions containing both H2SO4 and CuSO4 in the presence of metallic copper. The function is also very useful for the estimation of the \(c_{{\text{Ag}}^{\text{ + }} }^{{\text{eq}}} \) near a working copper electrode. |
