    Short Answer 1. Answer the following questions about voltaic cells. (a) A voltaic cell is set up using Al/Al3+ as one half-cell and Sn/Sn2+ as the other half-cell. The half-cells contain equal volumes of solutions and are at standard conditions. (i) Write the balanced net-ionic equation for the spontaneous cell reaction.

    (ii) Determine the value, in volts, of the standard potential, E, for the spontaneous cell reaction.

    (iii) Calculate the value of the standard free-energy change, G, for the spontaneous cell reaction. Include units with your answer.

    (iv) If the cell operates until [Al3+] is 1.08 M in the Al/Al3+ half cell, what is [Sn2+] in the Sn/Sn2+ half-cell?

    (b) In another voltaic cell with Al/Al3+ and Sn/Sn2+ half-cells, [Sn2+] is 0.010 M and [Al3+] is 1.00 M. Calculate the value, in volts, of the cell potential, Ecell, at 25C.
