(a)
Interpretation:
The method used to construct a battery with 0.10 V should be described.
Concept introduction:
Battery is a device that store chemical energy in order to release later as electricity. Batteries may consist of single voltaic cell with two electrodes or may contain two or more voltaic cells linked in series.
(b)
Interpretation:
The method used to construct a battery with 2.5 V should be described.
Concept introduction:
Battery is a device that store chemical energy in order to release later as electricity. Batteries may consist of single voltaic cell with two electrodes or may contain two or more voltaic cells linked in series.
(c)
Interpretation:
The method used to construct a battery with 10.0 V should be described.
Concept introduction:
Battery is a device that store chemical energy in order to release later as electricity. Batteries may consist of single voltaic cell with two electrodes or may contain two or more voltaic cells linked in series.

- Halide ions can he deposited at a silver anode, the reaction being Ag(s) + X- AgX(s) +e- Suppose that a cell was formed by immersing a silver anode in an analyte solution that was 0.0250 M Cl-,Br-, and I -ions and connecting the half-cell to a saturated calomel cathode via a salt bridge. (a) Which halide would form first and at what potential? Is the cell galvanic or electrolytic? (b) Could I- and Br- be separated quantitatively?
