(C) The cell reaction is: $Cu_{(s)} + 2Ag^{+}_{(aq)} ightarrow Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2Ag_{(s)}$.Using the Nernst equation: $E_{	ext{cell}} = E^{\Theta}_{	ext{cell}} - \frac{0.06}{n} \log \frac{[Cu^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}$.Here,$n = 2$,$[Cu^{2+}] = 10^{-3} \, M$,and $[Ag^{+}] = 10^{-2} \, M$.$0.43 = E^{\Theta}_{	ext{cell}} - \frac{0.06}{2} \log \frac{10^{-3}}{(10^{-2})^2}$.$0.43 = E^{\Theta}_{	ext{cell}} - 0.03 \log \frac{10^{-3}}{10^{-4}} = E^{\Theta}_{	ext{cell}} - 0.03 \log(10) = E^{\Theta}_{	ext{cell}} - 0.03$.$E^{\Theta}_{	ext{cell}} = 0.43 + 0.03 = 0.46 \, V$.We know $E^{\Theta}_{	ext{cell}} = E^{\Theta}_{	ext{cathode}} - E^{\Theta}_{	ext{anode}} = E^{\Theta}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} - E^{\Theta}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}$.$0.46 = 0.80 - E^{\Theta}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}$.$E^{\Theta}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} = 0.80 - 0.46 = 0.34 \, V$.Thus,$E^{\Theta}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} = 34 	imes 10^{-2} \, V$.
