11) Which is the reduction half reaction for a Mg and Ag electrochemical cell? (The reaction is
spontaneous.)
a) Mg + 2e → Mg(s) (Mg gains electrons)
b) Mg(s) Mg + 2e (Mg loses electrons)
c) Ag + e Ag (s) (Ag gains electrons)
d) Ag(s)Ag + e=(Ag loses electrons)
12) In an electrochemical cell made of Al and Cu, Al loses 3 electrons per atom while Cu gains 2 electrons
per atom. What are the two half-reactions (oxidation and reduction) combined together and balanced?
(A total of 6 electrons should be lost and gained.)
A + Cu(s) → AI (s) + Cu*
a)
b)
2AI+ + 3Cu(s)→ 2AI (s) + 3Cu²+
c) Al (s) + Cu Al3 + Cu(s)
d) 2Al (s) + 3Cu2> 2Al* + 3Cu(s)
13) In a single replacement reaction (for example, Mg(s) + 2Ag (NO:lag) > 2 Ag(s) + Mg(NO:)z(ag) ),
metal that precipitates at the end of the reaction is always
a) lower in the table of standard reduction potentials and is the oxidation half-reaction
b) lower in the table of standard reduction potentials and is the reduction half-reaction
) higher in the table of standard reduction potentials and is the oxidation half-reaction
d) higher in the table of standard reduction potentials and is the reduction half-reaction
14) Which of these metals could not be used to plate (precipitate) silver?
a) chromium
b) copper
O gold
