The saturated calomel electrode. abbreviated SCE. is often used as a reference electrode in making electrochemica1 measurements. The SCE is composed of mercury in contact with a saturated solution of calomel (Hg2Cl2). The electrolyte solution is saturated KCI. is +0.242 V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode. Calculate the potential for each of the following galvanic cells containing a saturated calomel electrode and the given half-cell components at standard conditions. In each case. indicate whether the SCE is the cathode or the anode. Standard reduction potentials are found in Table 17.1. a. Cu2++2eCu b. Fe3++e-Fe2+ c. AgCl+e-Ag+Cl- d. Al3++3eAl e. Ni2++2eNi
What would happen to the voltage of an alkaline battery if the zinc were replaced by steel? Assume that the zinc reaction is simply Zn|Zn2+ and that steel is iron.
We noted that a tin-plated steel can corrodes more quickly than an unplated steel can. In cases of galvanic corrosion, one cannot expect standard conditions. Suppose that you want to study the galvanic corrosion of tin-plated steel by constructing a cell with low concentrations of the ions. You have pieces of tin and iron. You also have a solution of tin(ll) chloride that is 0.05 M and one of iron(ll) nitrate that is 0.01 M. (a) Describe the half-reactions you construct for this experiment. (b) Which halfreaction will be the anode and which the cathode? (c) Based on the solutions you have, calculate the cell potential for your experiment.
