Question
Assume that you want to construct a voltaic cell that uses
the following half-reactions:
A2+(aq) + 2 e----->A(s) E°red = -0.10 V
B2+(aq) + 2 e----->B(s) E°red = -1.10 V
You begin with the incomplete cell pictured here in which
the electrodes are immersed in water.
(a) What additions must you make to the cell for it to generate
a standard emf? (b) Which electrode functions as the
cathode? (c) Which direction do electrons move through
the external circuit? (d) What voltage will the cell generate
under standard conditions? [
