Chapter 25, Problem 25.11P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The net cell reaction of given electrochemical cell has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation is defined as a loss of electrons, loss of hydrogen atoms, or gain of oxygen atoms.

Reduction is defined as a gain of electrons, gain of hydrogen atoms, or loss of oxygen atoms.

Half-reaction, one oxidation and one reduction are exactly that: one-half of a complete

reaction. The two half-reactions combine to produce the complete net cell reaction.
