Question
A certain metal M forms a soluble sulfate salt MSO, Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 2.00 M solution of MSO, and the
right half cell with a 10.0 mM solution of the same substance. Electrodes made of M are dipped into both solutions and a voltmeter is connected between them.
The temperature of the apparatus is held constant at 20.0 °C.
O left
Which electrode will be positive?
right
What voltage will the voltmeter show? Assume its positive lead is connected to the
positive electrode.
Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 2 significant
digits.
