Question

Part A Learning Goal To understand the components and processes of a galvanic cell Describe the electrodes in this tin-copper galvanic cell Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. A galvanic cell (or voltaic cell) produces electricity using a spontaneous redox reaction, such as the one shown here Sn(s)Cu2 (a)Sn2+ (aq) +Cu(s) The components of this reaction are separated by a salt bridge and connected with a wire, forcing the electrons to travel across the wire, creating electricity anode cathode gains massloses mass Sn salt bridge Tin Copper 2+ Sn' (a Cu (aq The salt bridge is a U-shaped glass tube that is filled with a gel like substance containing a salt. The salt bridge completes the circuit and allows ions to flow, maintaining electrical neutrality in the solutions reset ? help Submit Hints My Answers Give Up Review Part

Explanation / Answer

1)

a) Tin is an anode and it looses its mass because of having less reductution potential value.

Copper is a cathode and it gains mass because of having greater reduction potential value.

b) Cell potential, E0cell = 0.140+0.337 = 0.477 V
