Question:
A common shorthand way to represent a voltaic cell is anode| anode solution || cathode solution |cathode A double vertical line represents a salt bridge or a porous barrier. A single vertical line represents a change in phase, such as from solid to solution.
(a) Write the half-reactions and overall cell reaction represented by Fe| Fe2+||Ag+ | Ag; sketch the cell.
(b) Write the half-reactions and overall cell reaction represented by Zn| Zn2+||H+ |H2; sketch the cell.
(c) Using the notation just described, represent a cell based on the following reaction:
ClO3-(aq) + 3Cu(s) + 6H+(aq) → Cl-(aq) + 3Cu2+ (aq) + 3H2O(I)
Pt is used as an inert electrode in contact with the ClO3- and Cl-. Sketch the cell.
