Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The questions based on the voltaic cell are to be answered.
Concept introduction: Voltaic cell is a type of
In voltaic cell during the process of redox reaction electrons are generated on anode and then transfer to the cathode by the external circuit. In this way we can say that the process of oxidation occurs at the anode and the process of reduction occurs at cathode and hence, electron flows.
To determine: The half reactions for anode and cathode for the given reaction between
(b)
To determine: The net ionic balanced equation for describing the cell reaction.
(c)
To determine: The cell diagram for the above reaction.
