Concept Introduction:
Electrolytic cell is an electrochemical device in which electrical energy converted into chemical energy. A non-spontaneous chemical reaction is initiated by giving electrical energy to the cell. It has two electrodes, anode and cathode. Anode is having positive charge and at anode oxidation is taking place. Cathode is having negative charge and at cathode reduction takes place. The two electrodes are dipped in the same electrolyte.

- A galvanic cell is based on the following half-reactions: In this cell, the copper compartment contains a copper electrode and [Cu2+] = 1.00 M, and the vanadium compartment contains a vanadium electrode and V2+ at an unknown concentration. The compartment containing the vanadium (1.00 L of solution) was titrated with 0.0800 M H2EDTA2, resulting in the reaction H2EDTA2(aq)+V2+(aq)VEDTA2(aq)+2H+(aq)K=? The potential of the cell was monitored to determine the stoichiometric point for the process, which occurred at a volume of 500.0 mL H2EDTA2 solution added. At the stoichiometric point, was observed to be 1 .98 V. The solution was buffered at a pH of 10.00. a. Calculate before the titration was carried out. b.
