Question

1. The following cell is made at 25oC. Which of the equations below could be used to calculate E for this cell?

Mn(s), Mn2+ (0.050M), Fe3+ (0.10M), Fe2+ (0.20M)

2. A concentration cell is made using two Ni electrodes with Ni2+ concentrations of 1.0 M and 1.0x10-4 M in the two half-cells. Which of these statements about this cell is false?

The 1.0x10-4 M Ni2+ solution is in the anode half-cell.

Eo for the overall reaction is 0 V.

The overall cell potential will be -.26 V.

When the cell reaction reaches equilibrium, the Ni2+ concentrations will be equal.

3. Which of these metals could act as a sacrificial anode for iron?

Pb

Co

Mg
