An active (metal) electrode was found to lose mass as the oxidation-reduction reaction was allowed to proceed. Was the electrode part of the anode or cathode? Explain.
Halide ions can he deposited at a silver anode, the reaction being Ag(s) + X- AgX(s) +e- Suppose that a cell was formed by immersing a silver anode in an analyte solution that was 0.0250 M Cl-,Br-, and I -ions and connecting the half-cell to a saturated calomel cathode via a salt bridge. (a) Which halide would form first and at what potential? Is the cell galvanic or electrolytic? (b) Could I- and Br- be separated quantitatively? (Take 1.00 l0-5 M as the criterion for quantitative removal of an ion.) If a separation is feasible, what range of cell potential could he used? (c) Repeat part (b) for I- and Cl-. (d) Repeat part (b) for Br- and Cl-.
13.106 Hydrazine, N2H4 , has been proposed as the fuel in a fuel cell in which oxygen is the oxidizing agent. The reactions are N2H4(aq)+4OH-(aq)N2(g)+4H2O(l)+4eO2(g)+2H2O(l)+4e4OH-(aq) (a) Which reaction occurs at the anode and which at the cathode? (b) What is the net cell reaction? (C) If the cell is to produce 0.50 A of current for 50.0 h, what mass in grams of hydrazine must be present? (d) What mass in grams of O2 must be available to react with the mass of N2H4 determined in part (c)?
