Question

sapling learning Consider two cells, the first with Al and Ag electrodes, and the second with Zn and Ni electrodes, each in appropriate 1.00 M solutions of their ions. a) If connected as voltaic cells in series, which two metals are plated, and what is the total potential? Al(s) Number M Ag(s) E 2.96 Zn(s) Ni(s) b) If connected such that one cell acts as a battery to power the other as an electrolytic cell, which two metals are plated, and what is the total potential? Al(s) Number M Ag(s) E 1.98 M Zn(s) Ni(s) c) If 4.10 g of metal is plated in the voltaic cell, how much metal is plated in the electrolytic cell?

Explanation / Answer

Answer of (a) and (b) are correct (given in the question itself).

(a)Plated Ni and Ag at 2.96 V

(b)Plated Ag and Zn at 1.98 V

(c) [(4.10g /Molar mass of Ag)/2] x molar mass of Zn

= [(4.10 / 107.868 / 2] x 65.38

= [0.038 / 2] x 65.38

= 1.24 g zn
