Question

1. the purpose of the aqueous solutions in a galvanic cell is to?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The correct option is;

c. maintains charge balance in the cell

2. The correct option is;

c. +3.272 V

Explanation:

The aqueous solution in a galvanic cell is the electrolyte which is a ionic solution containing that permits the transfer of ions between the separated compartment of the galvanic cell such that the overall system is electrically neutral

Therefore, the aqueous solution maintains the charge balance in the cell

2. Here we have;

B₂ + 2e⁻ → 2B⁻ Ecell = 0.662 V

A⁺ + 1e⁻ → A Ecell = -1.305 V

Hence for the overall reaction, we have;

2A + B₂ → 2AB gives;

(0.662) - 2×(-1.305)  = +3.272 V.
