Question
Chapter 16, Problem 87E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reaction which produces a battery with the highest voltage is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The activity series of the metals is in decreasing order of electrons losing tendency that means on going from top to bottom in activity series tendency of oxidation of metals decreases.
The combination of oxidation of above metals with reduction of below metals in activity series produce highest voltage.
When metal present in top in activity series paired with metal present in bottom in activity series will generate higher voltage.
