Chapter 14, Problem 14.17P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The line notation for the given cell has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Line notation:

Electrochemical cells are explained with the help of notation expressed with two symbols: $|phaseboundary\Vert saltbridge$

Each phase boundary is represented by a vertical line and the electrodes are seen at the extreme right and left hands of the line diagram.

An example of line notation is ${\text{Cd}}_{\left(\text{s}\right)}|\text{Cd}{\left({\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2(aq)}}\Vert {\text{AgNO}}_{\left(\text{3}\right)\text{(aq)}}|{\text{Ag}}_{\left(\text{s}\right)}$

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The potential of each half cell, the cell voltage and direction of flow of electrons and spontaneous net cell reaction has to be written.

c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The limiting reagent has to be identified.

d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of electrical work to be done when 0.231 ml ${\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}$ will be consumed has to be calculated.

e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate (in grams per second) of dissolution of ${\text{Al}}_{\left(\text{s}\right)}$ has to be given.
