Concept Introduction:
Species with higher reduction potential or less negative charge undergoes reduction easily than the species having lower reduction potential or more positive charge. It is known as
“Cathode”.
Species with the lower reduction potential or more negative undergoes oxidation more easily than the species with higher reduction potential. This is known as “anode”.
Reduction reaction takes place in anodic center, and the oxidation reaction takes place in cathodic center.

- An aqueous solution of an unknown salt of vanadium is electrolyzed by a current of 2.50 amps for 1.90 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 95.0%, resulting in a deposit of 2.850 g of vanadium. a How many faradays are required to deposit the vanadium? b What is the charge on the vanadium ions (based on your calculations)?arrow_forwardAn electrode is prepared from liquid mercury in contact with a saturated solution of mercury(I) chloride, Hg2Cl, containing 1.00 M Cl . The cell potential of the voltaic cell constructed by connecting this electrode as the cathode to the standard hydrogen half-cell as the anode is 0.268 V. What is the solubility product of mercury(I) chloride?arrow_forwardAn electrode is prepared by dipping a silver strip into a solution saturated with silver thiocyanate, AgSCN, and containing 0.10 M SCN .

- Answer the following questions by referring to standard electrode potentials at 25C. a Will oxygen, O2, oxidize iron(II) ion in solution under standard conditions? b Will copper metal reduce 1.0 M Ni2(aq) to metallic nickel?arrow_forwardA 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.
