Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The overall cell reaction for the alkaline Leclanche cell should be written.
Concept introduction:
A superior form of the Leclanche cell is the alkaline cell. It uses NaOH or KOH instead of NH4Cl as the electrolyte.
(b)
Interpretation:
The E0cell for the cell reaction should be determined.
Concept introduction:
In an
If oxidation takes place on an electrode, that electrode is called anode. The species in that electrode remove electrons and itself gets oxidized.
If reduction takes place on an electrode, that electrode is called cathode. The species in that electrode absorbs electrons and itself gets reduced.
The electrode potential of cell can be calculated as follows:

- Suppose Ered for H+H2 were taken to be 0.300 V instead of 0.000 V. What would be (a) Eox for H2H+ ? (b) Ered for Br2Br ? (c) E for the cell in 34(c)? Compare your answer with that obtained in 34(c).arrow_forwardThe anode in the above cell can actually be considered a standard hydrogen electrode if concentrations were standardized. That would make the cathode an ion selective electrode. What analyte would the electrode be detecting? And what component of the cathode would you replace by the solution containing the unknown concentrations of analyte?arrow_forwarda. Write an overall reaction for the corrosion of solid iron in acidic media, and calculate the standard cell potential for the reaction. b. Then, Will the overall reaction of iron you wrote in (a) still proceed if the reaction is in alkaline media? Propose a reaction, and theorize observable changes based on your proposed reaction.arrow_forward
- Make an inference about the effect of applied current and electrolysis time on the mass of deposited copper. Thoroughly explain and relate any observed trend to Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis.a. What happened to the mass of deposited Cu when the applied current is increasedb. What happened to the mass of deposited Cu when the electrolysis time is increasedarrow_forwardWrite the cell reaction for the following. (See attached pic)arrow_forward1. Identify the electrode at which oxidation is occuring. Explain your reasoning based on the student's obervations. 2. As the mass of the Sn electrode decreases, where does the mass go?arrow_forward
- Why experimental EMF of the cell different from the calculated EMF of the cell? What factors lead to the difference between experimental EMf of the cell and calculated EMF of the cell?arrow_forward3) Construct two electrochemical cells such that the EMF of the cells are less than +0.513 V. a. Before doing the simulation, predict the cells and explain. Justify using the Nernst equation. b. Provide the shorthand notation and EMF for each of the electrochemical cells that you construct.arrow_forward5. discuss your generalizations and realization after learning about standard reduction potential please do not just copy from google, i will upvote. thxarrow_forward
- A cell consisting of a saturated calomel electrode and a lead ion electrode developed a potential of -0.3257 V when immersed in a 60.00 mL lead solution of unknown concentration. A 10.00 mL addition of 0.02500 M lead standard solution caused the reduction potential to shift to -.2897 V. Calculate the molar concentration (in units mM) of lead in the sample. Please make sure to perform necessary calculations to have a final answer in mM.arrow_forwardIn the video "Sacrificial Anode Materials Demo", which among Zn, Al, Mg served as as i) sacrificial anodes? and ii) as noble coatings?arrow_forward
