Question
Four voltaic cells are set up. In each, one half-cell contains a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). The second half-cell is one of the following.
2+
• Cr" (aq, 1.0 M) | Cr(s)
3+
Al" (ag, 1.0 M) | Al(s)
2+
• Ca" (aq, 1.0 M) | Ca(s)
2+
Hg2" (aq, 1.0 M) | Hg(1)
(a) In which of the voltaic cells does the hydrogen electrode serve as the cathode?
2+
O SHE & Cr´" (aq, 1.0 M) | Cr(s)
,3+
O SHE & Alº" (aq, 1.0 M) | Al(s)
2+
O SHE & Ca" ' (aq, 1.0 M) | Ca(s)
2+
O SHE & Hg," (aq, 1.0 M) | Hg(1)
(b) Which voltaic cell produces the highest voltage? Which produces the lowest voltage?
The highest voltage will be produced by combining the SHE and the
half-cell. The lowest voltage will be produced by combining the
SHE and the
v half-cell.
