- The following two half-reactions arc involved in a voltaic cell. At standard conditions, what species is produced at each electrode? Ag++eAgE=0.80VNi2++2eNiE=0.25Varrow_forwardBased on the cell potential measured for the cells Co(s)|Co2+(aq) Cu 2+( aq)|Cu( s)E=0.614VFe(s)|Fe2+(aq) Cu 2+( aq)|Cu( s)E=0.777V what potential should you expect to find for the following cell? Fe(s)|Fe2+(aq)Co2+(aq)|Co(s)arrow_forwardWhat would happen to the voltage of an alkaline battery if the zinc were replaced by steel? Assume that the zinc reaction is simply Zn|Zn2+ and that steel is iron.arrow_forward
- A solution of copper(II) sulfate is electrolyzed by passing a current through the solution using inert electrodes. Consequently, there is a decrease in the Cu2+ concentration and an increase in the hydronium ion concentration. Also, one electrode increases in mass and a gas evolves at the other electrode. Write half-reactions that occur at the anode and at the cathode.arrow_forwardHalf-cells were made from a nickel rod dipping in a nickel sulfate solution and a silver rod dipping in a silver nitrate solution. The half-reactions in a voltaic cell using these half-cells were Ag+(aq)+eAg(s)Ni(s)Ni2+(aq)+2e Sketch the cell and label the anode and cathode, showing the corresponding electrode reactions. Give the direction of electron flow and the movement of cations.arrow_forwardWe noted that a tin-plated steel can corrodes more quickly than an unplated steel can. In cases of galvanic corrosion, one cannot expect standard conditions. Suppose that you want to study the galvanic corrosion of tin-plated steel by constructing a cell with low concentrations of the ions. You have pieces of tin and iron. You also have a solution of tin(ll) chloride that is 0.05 M and one of iron(ll) nitrate that is 0.01 M. (a) Describe the half-reactions you construct for this experiment. (b) Which halfreaction will be the anode and which the cathode? (c) Based on the solutions you have, calculate the cell potential for your experiment.arrow_forward
