Answer:
1. 0.97 V
2.
Explanation:
In this case, we can start with the <u>half-reactions</u>:
With this in mind we can <u>add the electrons</u>:
<u>Reduction</u>
<u>Oxidation</u>
The reduction potential values for each half-reaction are:
- 0.69 V
-1.66 V
In the aluminum half-reaction, we have an oxidation reaction, therefore we have to <u>flip</u> the reduction potential value:
+1.66 V
Finally, to calculate the overall potential we have to <u>add</u> the two values:
1.66 V - 0.69 V = <u>0.97 V</u>
For the second question, we have to keep in mind that in the cell notation we put the anode (the oxidation half-reaction) in the left and the cathode (the reduction half-reaction) in the right. Additionally, we have to use "//" for the salt bridge, therefore:
