Chapter 17, Problem 17.9VP

Interpretation Introduction

To find:

a) Write balanced half-reactions for the processes that occur at the anode and cathode in acid solution.

b) Write the balance chemical equation for the overall reaction, and determine the number of electrons transferred.

c) Label the diagram in Figure P17.9 by putting the appropriate reaction in each compartment, and show the direction of electron flow.

d) How does the value of $E_{cell}\left(1.25 V\right)$ change with $pH$?
