Chapter 19.3, Problem 1PPA

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The feasibility of the givenredox reaction on the addition of lead is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

In a galvanic cell, transfer of electrons takes place from one metal to another only when there is a difference in the standard reduction potentials. The substance with large value of standard reduction potential will gain electrons from the other substance. Thus, reduction takes place and the electrode is cathode.
