Must answer Question 16 and 17 both
A student was asked to set-up a galvanic cell in the laboratory. He used two copper electrodes, one with an electrolyte solution of lower concentration. He then connected the two electrodes by a conductive wire with a voltmeter. However, he noticed that the reaction eventually stopped as there was no longer a voltage reading. What caused the halting of the reaction?
a.
The use of identical electrodes for the anode and cathode.
b.
The build-up of charge due to absence of salt bridge.
c.
The presence of the voltmeter in the circuit.
d.
None of the above.
determine the pOH of a 0.0453 mol L-1 KOH solution at 25 ℃
