    Worksheet 2
    Electrochemical cells :
    Exercise 1)

    a) Label the anode and the cathode. Draw the direction of the electron flow.
    Done in fig.
    b) Write down the oxidation and reduction reaction.
    Oxidation Reaction:
    Cu-2  Cu + 2e- ….(Oxidation)
    Reduction Reaction
    2Ag+ + 2e-  2Ag …..(Reduction)
    c) Write down the net reaction.
    Cu + 2Ag+  Cu+2 + 2 Ag ….(Redox Reaction)
    d) Express the cell.

    e) Is it a galvanic or electrolytic cell?
    It is Voltaic or Galvanic Cell.
    Exercise 2)

    a) Write down the net reaction.


    2Cl-  Cl2(g) + 2e-…..Oxidation

    b) Express the cell.


    2Cl- I Cl2 II 2Ag+ I 2Ag
    c) Is it a galvanic or electrolytic cell? Why?
    It is Electrolytic cell , as the reaction is not happening spontaneously to give
    out energy. But here we need to supply electrical Energy to split compound
    into its elements. Electrolytic cells use electrical work as source of energy to
    drive the reaction in the opposite direction.

    Exercise 3)
    Assign the oxidation state of each atom of the following compounds:
    a) Na2SO3 = Na2+1 S+4 O3-2
    b) Ca(ClO)2 = Ca+2 (Cl+1 O+2 )2

    Exercise 5:
    Calculate the metallic masses deposited at the electrolysis during the
    following reactions.
    Bi from BiO+ (aq) solution, 2.5A, 45minutes.

    Solution:
    Bi has Oxidation number of +3 hence , so it’ll take 3 moles of electrons per
    mole of Bi.
    Atomic Mass of Bi is 209g.
    Hence , Quantity of electrons passed in Coulombs ,
    Q= I x t = 2.5A x 45x60 sec = 6750 C.
    1 mole of electron = 96500C , here we need 3 moles of electrons
    Therefore, moles of electrons passed through circuit
    6750/96500 = 0.069948
    it takes three moles of electrons to form one mole of Bi
    Therefore moles of Bi = 0.069948 /3 = 0.023316
    Mass of Bi = moles of Bi x atomic mass of Bi
    = 0.023316 x 209
    = 4.87 g. of Bi deposited.

    = [– 0.136 V – (–2.34V)]
    = 2.204 V

    OR
    E0cell = E0cell −0.05912 log [Mg2+]/[Sn2+]
    =(2.34−0.14)−0.05912 x log (10−2/10−1)
    =2.23V

    = -0.04837 V
    Exercise 10:
    How big is the concentration of Cd2+ in the cell Zn I Zn2+ (0.09M) II Cd2+ I Cd if
    the cell potential shows 0.4V?

    Solution:

    E = E0cell + {0.0591/ n} ln {Q }
    0.4 = (-0.4) - {0.0591 /2} ln {Q}
    0.4 = (-0.4) - {-0.03979}
