The cell notation for the given voltaic cell is
SO₂(g) | SO₄²⁻(aq) || Cu²⁺(aq) | Cu (s)
<h3>What is a voltaic cell?</h3>A voltaic cell often called a galvanic cell, is a type of electrochemical cell.
It is a combination of two metal rods called electrodes.
A half cell is formed when both electrodes are submerged in a solution containing a particular mix of ions.
The electrolyte is the liquid in which both electrodes are submerged and acts as a salt bridge connecting the half cells.
The cell undergoes a chemical reaction known as a redox reaction.
One of the electrodes serves as an anode and undergoes oxidation, while the other electrode serves as a cathode and undergoes reduction.
To write the cell notation, write the half-reaction of the cells.
At the anode, oxidation occurs
At cathode
In the cell notation, the anode is written on the left side, and the cathode is written on the right side. A vertical line differentiates the phases and the double vertical line represents the salt bridge.
