A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Eed=+0.45 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.40 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 anode of the cell. olo Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? yes, there is a minimum. E red Ov Ar 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. no minimum Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

6. As we will discuss when we get to the chapter on electrochemistry, the AGO for a reaction can very easily be determined by incorporating the reaction into an electrochemical cell (battery). AGO is directly proportional to the potential (voltage) of the cell. Using this technique, it was found that the AG° = -1370.8 kJ for the following reaction. 2 CH₂OH(1) + 3 0₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(1) 0.

Thomas Edison invented an electric meter that was nothing more than a simple coulometer, a device to measure the amount of electricity passing through a circuit. In this meter, a small, fixed fraction of the total current supplied to a household was passed through an electrolytic cell, plating out zinc at the cathode. Each month the cathode could then be removed and weighed to determine the amount of electricity used. If 0.25% of a household’s electricity passed through such a coulometer and the cathodeincreased in mass by 1.83 g in a month, how many coulombs of electricity were used during that month?

Report all answers with the proper number of significant figures. In an electrolysis experiment similar to the one employed this experiment; a student observed that his unknown metal anode lost 0.238 grams while a total volume of 94.50 mL of hydrogen was being produced. The temperature of the solution was 25oC and the barometric pressure was 739 mm Hg. The difference between the water levels in the beaker and buret was negligible. The vapor pressure of water at 25oC is 23.8 mm Hg. Based on the information provided and the lab handout, what pressure of hydrogen is collected, in atmospheres?
