Choose the correct statement. The cathode is the electrode where the oxidation takes place. Both oxidation and reduction may tak

e place at the cathode, depending on the cell. The cathode is always positive. The anode is always negative. The cathode is the electrode where the reduction takes place.

Answer:

The cathode is the electrode where the reduction takes place.

Explanation:

Cell has three components:

an electrolyte and two electrodes which is a cathode and an anode.

Electrolyte is usually solution of the water or other solvents in which the ions are dissolved.

<u>In electrolytic cell:</u>

Negatively charged electrode is the cathode where the process of reduction takes place.

Positively charged electrode is the anode where the process of oxidation takes place.

<u>In galvanic cell:</u>

Positively charged electrode is the cathode where the process of reduction takes place.

Negatively charged electrode is the anode where the process of oxidation takes place.

<u>So, the correct answer is - The cathode is the electrode where the reduction takes place.</u>

A student does an experiment to determine the molar solubility of lead(II) bromide. She constructs a voltaic cell at 298 K consi
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The molar solubility of lead bromide at 298K is 0.010 mol/L.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to use the Nernst Equaiton:

E = E^{o} - \frac{0.0591}{n} log\frac{[ox]}{[red]}

E is the cell potential at a certain instant, E⁰ is the cell potential, n is the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction, [ox] is the concentration of the oxidated specie and [red] is the concentration of the reduced specie.

At equilibrium, E = 0, therefore:

E^{o}  = \frac{0.0591}{n} log \frac{[ox]}{[red]} \\\\log \frac{[ox]}{[red]} = \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591} \\\\log[red] =  log[ox] -  \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591}\\\\[red] = 10^{ log[ox] -  \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591}} \\\\[red] = 10^{ log0.733 -  \frac{2x5.45x10^{-2}  }{0.0591}}\\\\

[red] = 0.010 M

The reduction will happen in the anode, therefore, the concentration of the reduced specie is equivalent to the molar solubility of lead bromide.
