Chapter 17, Problem 94QRT
An electrolytic cell is set up with Cd(s) in Cd(NO3)2(aq) and Zn(s) in Zn(NO3)2(aq). Initially both electrodes weigh 5.00 g. After running the cell for several hours the electrode in the left compartment weighs 4.75 g.
- (a) Which electrode is in the left compartment?
- (b) Does the mass of the electrode in the right compartment increase, decrease, or stay the same? If the mass changes, what is the new mass?
- (c) Does the volume of the electrode in the right compartment increase, decrease, or stay the same? If the volume changes, what is the new volume? (The density of Cd is 8.65 g/cm3.)
