Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation The diagram of the given voltaic cell should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
An
(b)
Interpretation:
The anode in the given voltaic cell should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
An electrochemical cell is also known as a voltaic cell in which chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. A voltaic cell has a cathode and an anode. At anode oxidation takes place and at cathode, reduction takes place. The flow of electrons takes place from anode to cathode. Salt bridge is used for flow of ions in between the two electrolytes, this is important to balance the cell neutrality.
(c)
Interpretation:
The cathode for the given voltaic cell should be determined.
