Question
A galvanic cell is constructed using the two hypothetical half-reactions
A + e → B  = +1.50 V 
C + 2e → D  = –0.50 V

 

Determine the balanced chemical equation.

Calculate the total overall voltage.

 

Question 7 options:

 

a) 

2 A  +  C  -->  2 B  +  D

total =  +1.00 V

 

b) 

A  +  C  -->  B  +  D         

total = +1.00 V

 

c) 

A  +  D  -->  B  +  C

total =  +2.00 V

 

d) 

B  +  C  -->  A  +  D

total =  -2.00 V

 

e) 

2 B  +  C  -->  2 A  +  D

total =  -2.00 V

 

f) 

2 A  +  D  -->  2 B  +  C

total =  +2.00 V
