Draw a diagram of a voltaic cell using zinc-zinc ion and silver-silver ion as the two half-cells. Label the following parts in the diagram: cathode, anode, and the salt-bridge. Write the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction and indicate if the reaction occurs at the anode or the cathode. Write the shorthand cell notation and the overall cell reaction.                                                 Zn2+ + 2 e- à Zn  Eº = -0.76V                         Ag+     + e-   à Ag  Eº = 0.80 V

Questions:

  1. Draw a diagram of a voltaic cell using zinc-zinc ion and silver-silver ion as the two half-cells. Label the following parts in the diagram: cathode, anode, and the salt-bridge. Write the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction and indicate if the reaction occurs at the anode or the cathode. Write the shorthand cell notation and the overall cell reaction.

                       

                        Zn2+ + 2 e- à Zn  Eº = -0.76V

                        Ag+     + e à Ag  Eº = 0.80 V
