- An electrolysis experiment is performed to determine the value of the Faraday constant (number of coulombs per mole of electrons). In this experiment, 28.8 g of gold is plated out from a AuCN solution by running an electrolytic cell for two hours with a current of 2.00 A. What is the experimental value obtained for the Faraday Constant?arrow_forwardConsider a galvanic cell based on the following half-reactions: a. What is the expected cell potential with all components in their standard states? b. What is the oxidizing agent in the overall cell reaction? c. What substances make up the anode compartment? d. In the standard cell, in which direction do the electrons flow? e. How many electrons are transferred per unit of cell reaction? f. If this cell is set up at 25C with [Fe2+] = 2.00 104 M and [La3+] = 3.00 103 M, what is the expected cell potential?arrow_forwardIt took 150. s for a current of 1.25 A to plate out 0.109 g of a metal from a solution containing its cations. Show that it is not possible for the cations to have a charge of 1+.arrow_forward
- Consider a galvanic cell based on the following half-reactions: a. What is the standard potential for this cell? b. A nonstandard cell is set up at 25C with [Mg2+] = 1.00 105 M. The cell potential is observed to be 4.01 V. Calculate [Au3+] in this cell.arrow_forwardWhat is the standard cell potential you would obtain from a cell at 25C using an electrode in which Hg22+(aq) is in contact with mercury metal and an electrode in which an aluminum strip dips into a solution of Al3+(aq)?arrow_forward
