In making a specific galvanic cell, explain how one decides on the electrodes and the solutions to use in the cell.
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The procedure to decide the type of the electrodes and the electrolyte solutions for the galvanic cell is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The electrode with more oxidation potential is the one where the oxidation reaction occurs while the electrode with higher reduction potential is the one where reduction takes place. The electrolyte should be such that it does not affect the ion concentration otherwise the cell potential will change.
To determine: The type of electrode and solution used in the galvanic cell.
Explanation of Solution
A galvanic cell is a device that converts the electrical energy into chemical energy. In galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs on anode and reduction on cathode and both the electrodes are present in contact with the electrolyte. The electrolyte is basically the metal salt solution.
Two electrodes are present in a galvanic cell. Each beaker consists of one electrode which is present in contact with the electrolytic solution. The anode is that electrode where oxidation reaction occurs...
