Cd(s)|Cd 2+ (aq,a Cd 2+ =0.150)||Cl ? (aq,a Cl ? =0.0100|AgCl(s)|Ag(s)
Express your answers as a chemical expression. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
b)
Determine the half-cell reactions at the cathode for this cell.
Express your answers as a chemical expression. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
c)
Determine the overall cell reaction for this cell.
Express your answers as a chemical expression. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
Help is much appreciated!
Explanation / Answer
Cd(s)|Cd 2+ (aq,a Cd 2+ =0.150)||Cl ? (aq,a Cl ? =0.0100|AgCl(s)|Ag(s)
1) Anode reaction or Oxidation reaction:-
Cd(s) ------------> Cd2+(aq) + 2e-
2) Cathode reaction or reduction reaction:-
AgCl(s) + e- ----------> Ag(s) + Cl-(aq)
3) Overall reaction:-
2AgCl(s) + Cd -------> CdCl2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
