Question

Consider a cell that consists of a MnO4/ Mn2* half-cell connected to a Zn*/Zn half-cell understandard conditions. Answer the following questions with reference to the diagram and to Appendix 2.

(a) Assuming electrode (i) is the anode, identify a material that could be used as the electrode,the polarity of the electrode and the ions present in the electrolyte solution (ii). (b) Identify the material used as the cathode (iv), the polarity of the electrode and the ionspresent in the electrolyte solution (v). (c)Write a balanced half-equation for the electrode reaction occurring in beaker (iii). (d)Write a balanced half-equation for the electrode reaction occurring in beaker (vi) (e) Write the balanced overall cell reaction for the galvanic cell shown above. (f)Calculate the E° value of the galvanic cell shown above. (f)Calculate the E° value of the galvanic cell shown above. g)What is the purpose of the connection labelled (vii)?
