The standard electrode potential for the redox reaction between copper and silver ions can be determined using the standard reduction potentials for both half-reactions.The standard reduction potentials at 25C and 1 atm are as follows:Cu + 2e  Cu s     E = +0.34 VAg + e  Ag s       E = +0.80 VTo find the standard electrode potential for the overall redox reaction, we need to combine these half-reactions. First, we need to balance the electrons:Cu + 2e  Cu s 2 Ag + e  Ag s  Now, we can combine the half-reactions:Cu + 2Ag + 2e  Cu s  + 2Ag s  + 2eThe electrons cancel out:Cu + 2Ag  Cu s  + 2Ag s Now, we can calculate the standard electrode potential for the overall redox reaction by subtracting the standard reduction potential of the half-reaction being oxidized  copper  from the standard reduction potential of the half-reaction being reduced  silver :E cell  = E reduction  - E oxidation E cell  =  +0.80 V  -  +0.34 V E cell  = +0.46 VSo, the standard electrode potential for the redox reaction between copper and silver ions at 25C and 1 atm is +0.46 V.
