(a)
Interpretation:
The given electrolytic cell diagram needs to be completed and the electrode acting as anode needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In the
(b)
Interpretation:
The electrode acting as cathode needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In the electrochemical cell, the reactions at cathode and anode occur due to difference in their reduction electrode potential value. The EMF of cell can be calculated with help of electrode reduction potential values. The reaction at each electrode is called as half reaction and combination of both half reaction gives the cell reaction of given electrochemical cell.
(c)
Interpretation:
The half reaction taking place at anode needs to be determined.

- Q5: Label each chiral carbon in the following molecules as R or S. Make sure the stereocenter to which each of your R/S assignments belong is perfectly clear to the grader. (8pts) R OCH 3 CI H S 2pts for each R/S HO R H !!! I OH CI HN CI R Harrow_forwardCalculate the proton and carbon chemical shifts for this structurearrow_forwardA. B. b. Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more stable molecule, and why?arrow_forward
