Chapter 19, Problem 19.3QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The following terms Anode, Cathode, cell voltage, electromotive force should be defined properly.

Concept Introduction:

Anode: Where oxidation occurs, gives off electrons.

Cathode: Where the reduction take place.

Cell voltage: The voltage experienced across the electrodes of a galvanic cell.

Electromotive force: It is the special kind of force which can measure the voltage.

Standard reduction potential: The voltages associate with the reduction reaction at an electrode when all solute are 1M and all gases are at 1atm.
