Question
Suppose a galvanic cell is established using the following cell reaction, Cu(s) + 2Ag+(0.100 M) Cu2+(0.200 M) + 2Ag(s) Each compartment of the cell contains 125 mL of solution.
How long would it take at a constant current of 0.10 A for the potential to drop by 10%?
hr
Hint
By how many grams will the total mass of the two electrodes change during this time period?
The change in mass of the copper electrode =
The change in mass of the silver electrode =
The total change in mass of the two electrodes =
Hint
How will the entire mass of the galvanic cell be affected?
O It is impossible to determine this answer without additional information.
O In its entirety, the cell will lose mass.
O In its entirety, the cell will not change mass.
O In its entirety, the cell will gain mass.
