Chapter 19, Problem 54E
Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The E0cell for the cell reaction should be determined.

Concept introduction:

In an electrochemical cell, there are two electrodes that can be observed.

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:

E0cell= E0cathode  E0anode

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
please show the given and required as well as the half-reactions for a more detailed format.
Using data table 4, assign the identities of each of the metals (A-D). Using the identity of Metal A, adjust the half-cell potentials to make them standard reduction potentials. From least to most active, list the metals in this experiment.
After operating a daniell cell for a few minutes, a student notices that the cell emf begins to drop. Why?
