A Cell Is Set Up with Copper and Lead Electrodes

question 64

Multiple Choice

A cell is set up with copper and lead electrodes in contact with CuSO₄(aq) and Pb(NO₃) ₂(aq) , respectively, at 25°C. The standard reduction potentials are Pb²⁺ + 2e^-  Pb E° = -0.13 V
Cu²⁺ + 2e^-  Cu E° = +0.34 V
If sulfuric acid is added to the Pb(NO₃) ₂ solution, forming a precipitate of PbSO₄, the cell potential
