A certain metal M forms a soluble nitrate salt M (NO3)₂. Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 5.00 M 2 solution of M (NO3), and the right half cell with a 50.0 mM solution of the same substance. Electrodes made of M are dipped into 2 both solutions and a voltmeter is connected between them. The temperature of the apparatus is held constant at 35.0 °C. Which electrode will be positive? What voltage will the voltmeter show? Assume its positive lead is connected to the positive electrode.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Ered = -1.01 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the cathode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.00 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the cathode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the anode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the anode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no upper limit, check the "no" box. By using the information in the ALEKS Data tab, write a balanced equation describing a half reaction that could be used…
In an car battery recharging occurs when the car is running by supplying a current to the battery.
