- Electrochemical Cells II Consider this cell running under standard conditions: Ni(s)Ni2(aq)Cu+(aq)Cu(s) a Is this cell a voltaic or an electrolytic cell? How do you know? b Does current flow in this cell spontaneously? c What is the maximum cell potential for this cell? d Say the cell is connected to a voltmeter. Describe what you might see for an initial voltage and what voltage changes, if any, you would observe as time went by. e What is the free energy of this cell when it is first constructed? f Does the free energy of the cell change over time as the cell runs? If so, how does it change?arrow_forwardThe mass of three different metal electrodes, each from a different galvanic cell, were determined before and after the current generated by the oxidation-reduction reaction in each cell was allowed to flow for a few minutes. The first metal electrode, given the label A, was found to have increased in mass; the second metal electrode, given the label B, did not change in mass; and the third metal electrode, given the label C, was found to have lost mass. Make an educated guess as to which electrodes were active and which were inert electrodes, and which were anode(s) and which were the cathode(s).arrow_forwardAs an example of an electrolytic cell, the text states: Sodium chloride is electrolyzed commercially in an apparatus called the Downs cell to produce sodium and chlorine. This is a high-temperature operation; the electrolyte is molten NaCl. Write the half-reaction equations for the changes taking place at each electrode. Is the electrode at which sodium is produced the anode or the cathode? The Downs cell electrolyzes molten melted sodium chloride, producing sodium and chlorine.arrow_forward
