    Tutorial 2 (Electrochemistry)

    Draw an electrochemical cell for the reaction:

    Mg(s) + 2 Ag+1(aq)  Mg+2(aq) + 2 Ag(s)

    Include the following in your drawing:


    a) label the cathode and anode
    b) signs of each electrode
    c) the direction in which the electrons flow
    d) show how the ions move from the salt bridge (use Na2SO4 as salt)
    e) give each electrode reaction
    f) calculate the cell voltage

    Given the reduction potential for the half reations, calculate the Cell potential or Cell voltage for
    the following cells.

    E0cell = E0reduction half cell - E0oxidation half cell


    ( cathode) (anode)

    OR
    E0cell = (MORE POSITIVE VALUE) - (LESS POSITIVE VALUE)

    1. Al3+(aq) + 3e-  Al (s) E0cell = -1.66 Volts


    Cu2+(aq) + 2e-  Cu(s) E0cell = +0.34 Volts

    E0cell = ?
    2. Fe3+(aq) + 3e-  Fe (s) E0cell = 0.77 Volts
