1.How does the cell you will set-up in lab differ from the typical electrochemical cell where the two half-cells are physically separate from each other? (electrolytic cell) 

 

2.

Thinking about the Nernst Equation, select a half-cell reaction in which the value of n would be 2.

a) Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- → Cu0; (s)

b) Cu1+ (aq) + 1e- → Cu0; (s)

c) Al3+ (aq) + 3e- → Al0; (s)

d) Pu3+ (aq) + 1e- → Pu2+ (aq)

 

3.

In a half-reaction with the following equation:

MnO2 (s) + 4 H+ + 2 e- → Mn2+ + 2 H2O
E° = 1.23

The oxidation state of Mn in MnO2 is=?

 

4.

In a half-reaction with the following equation:

MnO2 (s) + 4 H+ + 2 e- → Mn2+ + 2 H2O
E° = 1.23

Mn is?

 

5.

Using the half-reaction given in Question #3, determine the reduction potential if the cell is composed of:

[Mn2+] = 4.3 x 10-4 M

pH = 2.45

a) 1.23 V

b) 1.02 V

c) 0.0296 V

d) 3.55 x 10-3 V
