Chapter 19.3, Problem 19.5E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The overall cell reaction for given voltaic cell ${\text{Cd}}_{\text{(s)}}{\text{| Cd}}^{\text{2+}}{}_{\text{(aq)}}\text{||}{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}{}_{\text{(aq)}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2(g)}}\text{|Pt}$ should be written.

Concept introduction:

Cell reaction:

The overall reaction that occurs in the cell is known as cell reaction and it is given by sum of two half cell reactions.

Cell notations:

The terms used to designating the particular voltaic cell by easy and convenient ways are known as cell notation.
