As explained in the book, the Voltaic cell is where the two components of a spontaneous redox reaction are separated by an electric circuit. The electrons being transferred travel through the electric circuit, and their kinetic energy can thus be utilized by devices such as a light. a. Note the half-reaction on the oxidation side. As the electron is taken away through the electric circuit, what is left? Which component of the salt bridge (the cation, Na*, or the anion, Cl") will migrate towards this side to balance the charges? As shown on the figure, the electrode where oxidation is taking place is called the b. Now note the half-reaction on the reduction side. As the electron arrives from the electric circuit, what does it consume? Which component of the salt bridge (the cation, Na*, or the anion, Cl) will migrate towards this side to balance the charges? As shown on the figure, the electrode where reduction is taking place is called the c. What is the direction of the electron flow through the external electric circuit? The electrons flow from the to the

What happens at the anode in the voltaic cell? Cathode?
A common shorthand way to represent a voltaic cell is anode& anode solution& & cathode solution&cathode A double vertical line represents a salt bridge or a porous barrier. A single vertical line represents a change in phase, such as from solid to solution. Using the notation just described, represent a cell based on the following reaction: ClO3 -1aq2 + 3 Cu1s2 + 6 H+1aq2 ¡ Cl -1aq2 + 3 Cu2+1aq2 + 3 H2O1l2 Pt is used as an inert electrode in contact with the ClO3 - and Cl -. Calculate the standard cell emf given: ClO3 -1aq2 + 6 H+1aq2 + 6 e- ¡ Cl -1aq2 + 3 H2O1l2; E° = 1.45 V.
