Sketch of a galvanic cell is as follows:
Values of
Explanation of Solution
Below is a sketch of a galvanic cell where electrons flow from anode to cathode with a salt bridge between two to supply the required ions and complete the circuit. Cations will always flow to the anode and anions will always flow to the cathode.
By examining oxidation number of atoms in the reaction determine which compound is oxidized and which being reduced.
In above reaction Cr has +3 oxidation state and Cl has 0 oxidation state and in products Cr has +6 oxidation state and Cl has -1 oxidation state. Oxidation number increased for Cr, it is oxidized. This means that
Determine actual half reactions that have occurred.
Cr has lost three electrons because Cr atom has gone from +3 to +6. Add six electrons to the products. The half reaction is now change balanced as well.
It has been converted to
Each Cl atom required one electron because they have gone from 0 to -1, thus add two electrons in reactants for a change balance.
Add two half reactions together and cancel out the electrons to determine overall process. Because Cr half reaction has six electrons multiply Cl half reaction by three before adding two together.
Determine the standard reduction potential from reference table to calculate
Add these values together to give

Explanation of Solution
By examining oxidation number of atoms in the reaction determine which compound is oxidized and which being reduced.
In above reaction Cu has +2 oxidation state and Mg has 0 oxidation state and in products Cu has 0 oxidation state and Mg has +2oxidation state. Oxidation number increased for Mg, it is oxidized. This means that Mg is at the anode. For Cu oxidation number decreased, it was reduced. This means that
Add two half reactions together and cancel out electrons determine overall process.

Answer to Problem 19E
Sketch of a galvanic cell is as follows:
Values of
Explanation of Solution
By examining oxidation number of atoms in the reaction determine which compound is oxidized and which being reduced.
In above reaction I has +5 oxidation state and Fe has +2 oxidation state and in products I has 0 oxidation state and Fe has +3oxidation state. Oxidation number increased for Fe, it is oxidized. This means that
Determine actual half reactions that have occurred
Each I atom has gone from +5 to 0 oxidation state, thus it has gained five electrons. Add ten electrons to reactants. Half-reaction is now charge balanced as well.
To determine overall process add two half reactions together and cancel out electrons. Because I half-reaction has ten electrons, multiply Fe half-reaction by ten before adding two together.
Determine standard reduction potentials from reference table to calculate
Add these values together to give

Explanation of Solution
By examining oxidation number of atoms in the reaction determines which compound is oxidized and which being reduced.
In above reaction Ag has +1 oxidation state and Zn has 0 oxidation state and in products Ag has 0 oxidation state and Zn has +2 oxidation state. This means Zn is at anode. Because oxidation number decrease for Ag. It is reduced. This means that
Determine actual-half reactions that have occurred. Zn has only been converted to
Zn loses two electrons so add two electrons to products to charge balance half-reaction.
Determine standard reduction potentials from reference table to calculate
Add these values together to give
