Question: 16. A voltaic cell is constructed with two silver-silver chloride electrodes, each of which is based on the following half-reaction: AgCl(s)+eAg(s)+Cl(aq)AgCl(s)+eAg(s)+Cl(aq). The two cell compartments

16. A voltaic cell is constructed with two silver-silver chloride electrodes, each of which is based on the following half-reaction: AgCl(s)+eAg(s)+Cl(aq)AgCl(s)+eAg(s)+Cl(aq). The two cell compartments have [Cl]=[Cl]= 1.58102 MM and [Cl]=[Cl]= 2.40 MM , respectively.

A. Which electrode is the cathode of the cell? the compartment with 1.58102 M Cl(aq) is the cathode the compartment with 2.40 M Cl(aq) is the cathode

B. What is the standard emf of the cell?

C. What is the cell emf for the concentrations given?

D. For the anode compartment, predict whether [Cl] will increase, decrease, or stay the same as the cell operates. increase decrease stay the same

E. For the cathode compartment, predict whether [Cl] will increase, decrease, or stay the same as the cell operates. increase decrease stay the same
