Chapter 18, Problem 12E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The direction of flow of current, labeling of cathode and anode (positive and negative), balanced equation, value of $E_{\text{cell}}^{\text{ο}}$ , and the direction of anion and cation flow in salt bridge are to be stated.

Concept introduction: The standard cell potential $\left(E_{\text{cell}}^{\text{ο}}\right)$ of given reaction is calculated by the formula,

$E_{\text{cell}}^{\text{ο}}=E_{\text{cathode}}^{\text{ο}}-E_{\text{anode}}^{\text{ο}}$

To determine: The direction of flow of current, labeling of cathode and anode (positive and negative), balanced equation, value of $E_{\text{cell}}^{\text{ο}}$ , and the direction of anion and cation flow in salt bridge.
