Chapter 19, Problem 19.77QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The steps would be taken in the given experiment has to be described.

Concept introduction:

Standard reduction potential: The voltage associated with a reduction reaction at an electrode when all solutes are 1M and all gases are at 1 atm. The hydrogen electrode is called the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE).

Standard emf: Eocell is composed of a contribution from the anode and a contribution from the cathode is given by,

Ecello=EcathodeoEanodeo

Where both Ecathodeo and Eanodeo are the standard reduction potentials of the electrodes.

Electrolysis: The process in which electrical energy is used to cause a non-spontaneous chemical reaction to occur. An electrolytic cell is an apparatus for carrying out electrolysis.

In a spontaneous reaction standard emf of a reaction is positive; if the value if negative then it is non-spontaneous and external energy (electrical energy) is applied to carry out that reaction.

During electrolysis, cations are reduced at cathode and anions are oxidized at anode. And in aqueous solutions water itself may be oxidized and/or reduced depends on the nature of other species involved/ present.
