Question

A certain electrochemical cell has a cell potential of +0.34 V. Which of the following is a true statement about the electrochemical reaction?
a. The reaction is reactant favored and would be considered an electrolytic cell.
b. The reaction is reactant favored and would be considered a voltaic (galvanic) cell.
c. The reaction is product favored and would be considered an electrolytic cell.
d. The reaction is at equilibrium and is a voltaic (galvanic) cell.
e. The reaction is product favored and would be considered a voltaic (galvanic

Answer 1

Answer:

e. The reaction is product favored and would be considered a voltaic (galvanic) cell

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell produces electrical energy from electrochemical reactions.

A voltaic cell is a type of electrochemical cell that produces electrical energy by spontaneous electrochemical reactions. In a voltaic cell, the cell potential is always positive unlike in an electrolytic cell.

Hence, given the fact that the cell potential is positive, it is a product favoured voltaic cell.
