Question

Consider the cell shorthand given below:

Pt(s) | MnO4-(aq), Mn2+(aq) || Cu2+(aq) | Cu(s)

Part A. If the concentration of all of the ions represented in the cell shorthand was 1.0 M, would the voltage of the cell be greater if the two half cell solutions were at pH 3 or pH 5? Be sure to justify your answer with suitable equations, etc.


Part B. If the reaction was allowed to proceed in the spontaneous direction (i.e., by hooking a wire between the two electrodes) how would the pH of the solutions in the two half cells change? (qualitatively

Explanation / Answer

greater ph 3
