Chapter 21: Q21.31 P (page 973)

A voltaic cell is constructed with an Fe/Fe2 + half-cell and an Mn/Mn2 + half-cell. The iron electrode is positive.

(a) Write balanced half-reactions and the overall reaction.

(b) Diagram the cell, labeling electrodes with their charges and showing the directions of electron flow in the circuit and of cation and anion flow in the salt bridge.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Overall reaction= Mn + Fe2 +鈫�Mn2 ++ Fe

b)

Step by step solution

01

 Given in the question:

  1. Fe/Fe2 + Half cell
  2. Mn/Mn2 +Half cell
  3. Positive iron electrode, i.e., cathode
02

Determining the Half-reactions that are balanced and the overall reaction:

Anode: Mn鈫�Mn2 ++ 2e-

Cathode: Fe2 ++ 2e-鈫�Fe

Overall impression: Mn + Fe2 ++ 2e-鈫�Mn2 ++ 2e-+ Fe

= Mn + Fe2 +鈫�Mn2 ++ Fe

03

Diagrammatic representation of the cell with labeling

Bubbles of H2 form when metal D is placed in hot . No reaction occurs when D is placed in a solution of a salt of metal E, but D is discoloured and coated immediately when placed in a solution of a salt of metal F. What happens if E is placed in a solution of a salt of metal ? Rank metals, E, and F in order of increasing reducing strength.
