Chapter 17, Problem 18E

From the information provided, use cell notation to describe the following systems:

(a) In one half-cell, a solution of Pt(NO₃)₂ forms Pt metal, while in the other half-Cell, Cu metal goes into a.Cu(NO₃)₂ solution with all solute concentrations 1 M.

(b) The cathode consists of a gold electrode in a 0.55 M Au(NO₃)₃ solution and the anode is a magnesium electrode in 0.75 M Mg(NO₃)₂ solution.

(c) One half-cell consists of a silver electrode in a 1 M AgNO₃ solution, and in the other half-cell, a copper Electrode in 1 M Cu(NO₃)₂ is oxidized.
