Detailed Solution

Given here,
Ered0=0.34v and [Cu2+]=0.01M
We have to find out the reduction potential of electrode i.e. Ered=?
For that we have to use Nernst equation
Ered=Ered0-0.0591nlog1[Cu2+]

By putting values in equation we get,

Ered=0.34-0.05912log10.01

Ered=0.34-0.0295 log102

Ered=0.34-0.0295×2

By solving this we get

Reduction Emf of electrode is

Ered=0.3990.40V

Hence option A is correct.
