Question
Exercise 2: Write the schematic representation and reaction of
the cell composed of SHE and cadmium electrode. Deduce the
half-reaction potential of the cadmium electrode from the E°cell =
- 0.403 V. Is the reaction spontaneous or not? Why or why not?
If it is not spontaneous, how should
the schematic
representation be written to make it spontaneous?
The magnitude of electrode potentials indicates the relative
strength of the ionic species as electron acceptors (oxidizing
agents); that is in decreasing strength, Ag* > H* > Cd²* > Zn²+.
