EBK INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY
- The following two half-reactions arc involved in a voltaic cell. At standard conditions, what species is produced at each electrode? Ag++eAgE=0.80VNi2++2eNiE=0.25Varrow_forwardConsider a salt bridge cell in which the anode is a manganese rod immersed in an aqueous solution of manganese(II) sulfate. The cathode is a chromium strip immersed in an aqueous solution of chromium(III) sulfate. Sketch a diagram of the cell, indicating the flow of the current throughout. Write the half-equations for the electrode reactions, the overall equation, and the abbreviated notation for the cell.arrow_forwardConsider a salt bridge voltaic cell represented by the following reaction MnO4(aq)+8H+(aq)+5Fe2+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+5Fe3+(aq)+4H2O (a) What is the direction of the electrons in the external circuit? (b) What electrode can be used at the anode? (c) What is the reaction occurring at the cathode?arrow_forward
- A potassium chloride solution is electrolyzed by passing a current through the solution using inert electrodes. A gas evolves at each electrode, and there is a large increase in pH of the solution. Write the half-reactions that occur at the anode and at the cathode.arrow_forwardThe mass of three different metal electrodes, each from a different galvanic cell, were determined before and after the current generated by the oxidation-reduction reaction in each cell was allowed to flow for a few minutes. The first metal electrode, given the label A, was found to have increased in mass; the second metal electrode, given the label B, did not change in mass; and the third metal electrode, given the label C, was found to have lost mass. Make an educated guess as to which electrodes were active and which were inert electrodes, and which were anode(s) and which were the cathode(s).arrow_forward
