(A) The electrode reaction is: $Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2e^{-} ightarrow Cu(s)$.Given: $[Cu^{2+}] = 0.2 \ M$,$n = 2$,and $E_{Cu^{2+} \mid Cu}^o = 0.34 \ V$.Using the Nernst equation for the electrode potential:$E_{Cu^{2+} \mid Cu} = E_{Cu^{2+} \mid Cu}^o - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \frac{1}{[Cu^{2+}]}$Substituting the values:$E_{Cu^{2+} \mid Cu} = 0.34 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \log \frac{1}{0.2}$$E_{Cu^{2+} \mid Cu} = 0.34 - 0.02955 	imes \log(5)$Since $\log(5) \approx 0.6990$:$E_{Cu^{2+} \mid Cu} = 0.34 - (0.02955 	imes 0.6990)$$E_{Cu^{2+} \mid Cu} = 0.34 - 0.02065$$E_{Cu^{2+} \mid Cu} \approx 0.3194 \ V$.
