Consider the following galvanic cell: Cu(s) | Cu²+ (aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s) Identify the cathode and state if it is being oxidized or reduced (please refer to chart on reference data page.) (A) Cu is the cathode; it is being oxidized (B) Cu is the cathode; it is being reduced (C) Ag is the cathode; it is being oxidized (D) Ag is the cathode; it is being reduced (E) Since the E values for both Ag and Cu are positive, they are both cathodes and being reduced

For each reaction listed, determine its standard cell potential at 25 C and whether the reaction is spontaneous at standard conditions. (a) Mn(s)+Ni2+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+Ni(s) (b) 3Cu2+(aq)+2Al(s)2Al3+(aq)+3Cu(s) (c) Na(s)+LiNO3(aq)NaNO3(aq)+Li(s) (d) Ca(NO3)2(aq)+Ba(s)Ba(NO3)2(aq)+Ca(s)
An electrolysis experiment is performed to determine the value of the Faraday constant (number of coulombs per mole of electrons). In this experiment, 28.8 g of gold is plated out from a AuCN solution by running an electrolytic cell for two hours with a current of 2.00 A. What is the experimental value obtained for the Faraday Constant?
Calculate the standard cell potential of the following cell at 25C. Sn(s)Sn2+(aq)I2(aq)I(aq)
The mass of three different metal electrodes, each from a different galvanic cell, were determined before and after the current generated by the oxidation-reduction reaction in each cell was allowed to flow for a few minutes. The first metal electrode, given the label A, was found to have increased in mass; the second metal electrode, given the label B, did not change in mass; and the third metal electrode, given the label C, was found to have lost mass. Make an educated guess as to which electrodes were active and which were inert electrodes, and which were anode(s) and which were the cathode(s).
