Another phosphate buffer system known as the Phosphate buffer system operates in the internal fluids of all cells. This buffer solution is composed of dihydrogen phosphate ion (HPO4), a weak acid, and hydrogen phosphate ion (H2PO42-), as its conjugate base. Draw an illustration of the mechanism of action of this buffer system when: a. A strong acid (which produces H3O*) is added to the buffer. b. A strong base (which produces OH-) is added to the buffer.

Galvanic cells harness spontaneous oxidationreduction reactions to produce work by producing a current. They do so by controlling the flow of electrons from the species oxidized to the species reduced. How is a galvanic cell designed? What is in the cathode compartment? The anode compartment? What purpose do electrodes serve? Which way do electrons always flow in the wire connecting the two electrodes in a galvanic cell? Why is it necessary to use a salt bridge or a porous disk in a galvanic cell? Which way do cations flow in the salt bridge? Which way do the anions flow? What is a cell potential and what is a volt?
An aqueous solution of an unknown salt of vanadium is electrolyzed by a current of 2.50 amps for 1.90 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 95.0%, resulting in a deposit of 2.850 g of vanadium. a How many faradays are required to deposit the vanadium? b What is the charge on the vanadium ions (based on your calculations)?
For the cell: Cr|Cr3+Co2+|Co E° is 0.46 V. The same cell was prepared in the laboratory at standard conditions. The voltage obtained was 0.40 V. A possible explanation for the difference is (a) the surface area of the chromium electrode was smaller than the cobalt electrode. (b) the mass of the chromium electrode was larger than the mass of the cobalt electrode. (c) the concentration of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was less than 1.0 M. (d) the concentration of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was less than 1.0 M. (e) the volume of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was larger than the volume of Cr(NO3)2 solution used.
