Cathode
1. A student constructs a voltaic cell to study the reaction between M(s) and X(s) and their ions. A diagram of the cell is shown above. The student uses 1.0 M
solutions of M2* and X3+ as well as solid electrodes of M(s) and X(s). The reduction reactions of M2+ and X3+ are shown below.

X3+ + 3 e- X(s) +1.80
The student connects the voltaic cell and measures the voltage produced.
a*. Write the net-ionic equation for the reaction that takes place in the voltaic cell
b*.Determine the voltage produced by the cell (
C. A student states that the voltaic cell must be thermodynamically unfavorable since a voltage was produced.
i. * Determine the value of AG° for the reactior
ii. Do you agree or disagree with the student's slatement about thermodynamic favorability? Justify your answer by referring to AG°
d. As the reaction proceeds would you expect the mass of the electrode used as the cathode to increase, decrease, or remain the same. Justify your answer.
