- Electrochemical Cells II Consider this cell running under standard conditions: Ni(s)Ni2(aq)Cu+(aq)Cu(s) a Is this cell a voltaic or an electrolytic cell? How do you know? b Does current flow in this cell spontaneously? c What is the maximum cell potential for this cell? d Say the cell is connected to a voltmeter. Describe what you might see for an initial voltage and what voltage changes, if any, you would observe as time went by. e What is the free energy of this cell when it is first constructed? f Does the free energy of the cell change over time as the cell runs? If so, how does it change?arrow_forwardSubstances A2, B2, and C2 can all act as oxidizing agents. In solution, A2 is green, B2 is yellow, and C2 is red. In the reactions in which they participate, they are reduced to A, B, and C ions, all of which are colorless. When a solution of C2 is mixed with one containing B ions, the color changes from red to yellow. Which species is oxidized? __________ Which is reduced? __________ When a solution of C2 is mixed with one containing A ions, the color remains red. Is C2 a better oxidizing agent than A2? __________ Is C2 a better oxidizing agent than B2? __________ Arrange A2, B2, and C2 in order of increasing strength as an oxidizing agent. ___________________ _______________ ______________ weakest oxidizing agentstrongest oxidizing agentarrow_forwardUsing data from Table 18.1, place the following in order of increasing strength as reducing agents (all under standard conditions).

- The ultimate electron acceptor in the respiration process is molecular oxygen. Electron transfer through the respiratory chain takes place through a complex series of oxidation-reduction reactions. Some of the electron transport steps use iron-containing proteins called cytochromes. All cytochromes transport electrons by convening the iron in the cytochrome. from the +3 to the +2 oxidation state. Consider the following reduction potentials for three different cytochromes used in the transfer process of electrons to oxygen (the potentials have been corrected for pH and for temperature): In the electron transfer series, electrons are transferred from one cytochrome to another. Using this information, determine the cytochrome order necessary for spontaneous transport of electrons from one cytochrome to another, which eventually will lead to electron transfer to O2.arrow_forwardA magnesium bar with a mass of 6.0 kg is attached to a buried iron pipe to serve as a sacrificial anode. An average current of 0.020 A flows between the bar and the pipe. (a) What reaction takes place at the surface of the magnesium bar? (b) What reaction takes place at the surface of the iron pipe? (C) In which direction do electrons flow between the two surfaces? (d) How many years would it take for the entire magnesium bar to be consumed?arrow_forwardWhen balancing equations in Chapter 3, we did not mention that reactions must be charge balanced as well as mass balanced. What do charge balanced and mass balanced mean? How are redox equations charge balanced?arrow_forward
