Question
Consider two cells, the first with Al and Ag electrodes, and the second with Zn and Ni electrodes, each in appropriate 1.00 M solutions of their ions. If connected as voltaic cells in series, which two metals are plated, and what is the total potential If connected such that one cell acts as a battery to power the other as an electrolytic cell, which two metals are plated, and what is the total potentail If 3.70 g of metal is plated in the voltaic cell, how much metal is plated in the electrolytic cellExplanation / Answer
Solution:
a) for voltaic series Ag and Ni, E = 2.98 V
b) as a battery Ag and Zn, E = 1.98V
c) 3.70g/107.868/2*65.38= 1.121g
