Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the reaction that occurs in the cell that contains zinc ion and permanganate ion at the anode has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
A reducing agent is a reacting species in the reaction that reduces another reacting species. A reducing agent itself gets oxidized when reacts with another species. The reducing agent donates electrons. An oxidizing agent is a reacting species in the reaction that oxidize another reacting species. An oxidizing agent itself gets reduced when it reacts with another species. The oxidizing agent accepts electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the reaction that occurs in the cell that contains zinc ion and permanganate ion at the cathode has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The overall balanced reaction in the cell that contains zinc ion and permanganate ion has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
The cell potential of the reaction in the cell that contains zinc ion and permanganate ion has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
