What is the standard electrode potential for a galvanic cell constructed in the appropriate way from these two half-cells?

Look up the reduction potential for each cell in question on a table of standard electrode potential like this one from Chemistry LibreTexts. [1]

The standard reduction potential

E

θ

resembles the electrode's strength as an oxidizing agent and equivalently its tendency to get reduced. The reduction potential of a Platinum-Hydrogen Electrode under standard conditions (

1.00

) is defined as

0

l

V

for reference. [2]

A cell with a high reduction potential indicates a strong oxidizing agent- vice versa for a cell with low reduction potentials.

Two half cells connected with an external circuit and a salt bridge make a galvanic cell; the half-cell with the higher

E

θ

and thus higher likelihood to be reduced will experience reduction and act as the cathode, whereas the half-cell with a lower

E

θ

will experience oxidation and act the anode.

E

Therefore in this galvanic cell, the

Ni

half-cell will experience reduction and act as the cathode and the

the anode.

The standard cell potential of a galvanic cell equals the standard reduction potential of the cathode minus that of the anode. That is:

Indicating that connecting the two cells will generate a potential difference of

What energy resource can be used instead of fossil fuel
lozanna [386]
We could use solar power, wind power, geothermal power, hydroelectric power, or nuclear power. There are probably more but this is what I can think of off the top of my head. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Can somebody help me with this also plz
just olya [345]

ANSWER:

4 a) Specific elements have more than one oxidation state, demonstrating variable valency.

For example, the following transition metals demonstrate varied valence states: Fe^{2+}, Fe^{3+}, Cr^{2+}, Cr^{3+}, etc.

Normal metals such as Pb^{2+} and Pb^{4+} also show variable valencies. Certain non-metals are also found to show more than one valence state Pb^{3+} and Pb^{5+}.

4 b) Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

For example, Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of carbon, having six protons and eight neutrons in the nucleus. However, C-14 does not last forever and there will come a time when it loses its extra neutrons and becomes Carbon-12.

5 a) 2Fe + 3Cl_2 → 2FeCl_3    

5 b) 3Pb + 8HNO_3 → 3Pb (NO_3)_2 + 4H_2O + 2NO_2

5 c) Zn + H_2SO_4 → ZnSO_4 + H_2   (already balanced so don't need to change)

5 d) 2H_2 + O_2 → 2H_2O

5 e) 2Mg + 2HCl → 2MgCl + H_2

EXPLANATION (IF NEEDED):

1. Write out how many atoms of each element is on the left (reactant side) and right (product side) of the arrow.

2. Start multiplying each side accordingly to try to get atoms of the elements on both sides equal.
