Question

Represent in the conventional manner, i.e., anode/cathode, the voltaic cell in which each of the following reactions occur spontaneously.

  1. Zn + Ni2+ --> Zn2+  + Ni
  2. 2Al + 3Cl2 -->2AlCl3
  3. H2 + 2Ag+ --> 2H+ +2Ag
  4. 2H+ + Pb --> H2 + Pb2+

 

  1. Write the half reactions occurring at the cathode and at the anode when each cell shown in problem #1 is delivering current.
  2. Calculate the voltage of the cell shown in problem #1.
