Question

Pictured below is a diagram of a galvanic electrochemical cell. The direction of the flow of electrons is spontaneous, and is shown with the curved arrow on the upper left of the diagram, so pay attention to it please! The components of the electrochemical cell are labeled A.B.C.D.E, and F. Please Identify them as follows: The cathode A B C D E F The anode A B C D E F Where oxidation taxes place A B C D E F Where reduction takes place A B C D E F The oxidizing agent A B C D E F The reducing agent A B C D E F The salt bridge A B C D E F The volt meter A B C D E F If one of the beakers contains 1.0 M CuSO_4 with a Cu electrode, and the other contains 1.0 M, with an iron electrode, write down the appropriate half-reactions, and use these to balance the overall equation, and calculate E*cell.

Explanation / Answer

The Cathode = A

The anode = B

Oxidation takes place in anode= B

The reduction takes place in cathode = A

The salt Bridge = C

The Voltmeter = F

The oxidising agent =D

The reducing agent = E
