Answer:
Ok so, b. A redox reaction occurs in an electrochemical cell, where silver (Ag) is oxidized and nickel (Ni) is reduced - In voltaic cells, also called galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. A mnemonic for this is "An Ox. Red Cat." So since silver is oxidized, the silver half-cell is the anode. And the nickel half-cell is the cathode...
i. Write the half-reactions for this reaction, indicating the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction- The substance having highest positive  potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, zinc will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced
ii. Which metal is the anode, and which is the cathode?-The anode is where the oxidation reaction takes place. In other words, this is where the metal loses electrons. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place.
iii. Calculate the standard potential (voltage) of the cell
Look up the reduction potential,
E
⁰

, for the reduction half-reaction in a table of reduction potentials
Look up the reduction potential for the reverse of the oxidation half-reaction and reverse the sign to obtain the oxidation potential. For the oxidation half-reaction,
E

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
HCl and KCl
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Strong electrolytes are strong bases and acids.
- HCl is a strong acid; it dissociates completely to form H+ and Cl- ions. Thus, it is a strong, rather than weak, electrolyte.
- CH3COOH is acetic acid, a weak acid. Only some of it will dissociate (to H+ and acetate ions), thus, it will only be a weak electrolyte.
- NH3 will react with water as a weak base: NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH-. It will thus also be a weak electrolyte.
- KCl is a soluble ionic compound, and as such, it will be a strong electrolyte.
Answer:
D. Ni²⁺
Explanation:
We know at once that the answer cannot be A or C, because Ni and Cu are already in their lowest oxidation states.
The correct answer must be either B or D.
An electrolytic cell is the opposite of a galvanic cell. In the former, the reaction proceeds spontaneously. In the latter, you must force the reaction to occur.
One strategy to solve this problem is:
- Look up the standard reduction potentials for the half reaction·
- Figure out the spontaneous direction.
- Write the equation in the reverse direction.
1. Standard reduction potentials
E°/V
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; 0.3419
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257
2. Galvanic Cell
We reverse the direction of the more negative half cell and add.
<u>E°/V
</u>
Ni ⟶ Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻; 0.257
<u>Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; </u> 0.3419
Ni + Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu + Ni²⁺; 0.599
This is the spontaneous direction.
Cu²⁺ is reduced to Cu.
3. Electrochemical cell
<u>E°/V</u>
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257
<u>Cu ⟶ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻; </u> <u>-0.3419</u>
Cu + Ni²⁺ ⟶ Ni + Cu²⁺; -0.599
This is the non-spontaneous direction.
Ni²⁺ is reduced to Ni in the electrolytic cell.
