A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential -1.33V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode o

f a galvanic cell that must provide at least 0.70V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions.
a. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?b. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

Answer:

a. -0.63 V

b. No

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Standard reduction potential of the anode (E°red): -1.33 V
  • Minimum standard cell potential (E°cell): 0.70 V

Step 2: Calculate the required standard reduction potential of the cathode

The galvanic cell must provide at least 0.70V of electrical power, that is:

E°cell > 0.70 V    [1]

We can calculate the standard reduction potential of the cathode (E°cat) using the following expression.

E°cell = E°cat - E°an   [2]

If we combine [1] and [2], we get,

E°cat - E°an > 0.70 V

E°cat > 0.70 V + E°an

E°cat > 0.70 V + (-1.33 V)

E°cat > -0.63 V

The minimum E°cat is -0.63 V and there is no maximum E°cat.

Which of these are ionic compounds? Check all that apply.
SIZIF [17.4K]
I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are the first, third and the last option. Ionic compounds are compounds that dissociates into ions when in aqueous solution. From the list, NH4Cl, KF and MgO are the ionic compounds. Hope this answers the question.

Cars might not be as insulated and as safe  because of the need to get cooler air into the vehicle, and im not fully sure but refrigerators would still run on ice to cool food. Houses wouldnt be as insulated from heat so when winter came around you would be colder than normal  <span />
