(3) Calculate the cell potential, the equilibrium constant, and the free-energy change for Ca (s) + Mn2+ (aq) ( 1 M)Ca2+ (aq) ( 1 M) + Mn (s) given the following E° values: Ca2+ (aq) + 2e- Ca (s) Mn2+(aq) + 2e- Mn (s) E--2.87 v E118 V (4) Arranging Oxidizing and Reducing Agents in Order of Increasing Strength (a) Arrange the following oxidizing agents in order of increasing strength under standard-state conditions: (b) Arrange the following reducing agents in order of increasing strength under standard-state conditions Al(s), Na(s), Zn(s).

Explanation / Answer

Q1.

Faraday --> amount of charge per unit mol of electron

Salt bridge --> brige between eletrolytic cells which allow ion flow

anode --> electrode in which oxidation, loss of electrons, is done

cathode --> electrode in which reduction, gain of electrons, is done

voltaic cell --> a cell which consist of two half cells, each consisting in reduciton and oxidation. Electirc charge is produced

eletrolytic cell --> cell similar to voltaic clel, but in this cae electricity is applied, in order to favour a reverse reaction
