This problem set was developed by S.E. Van Bramer for Chemistry 145 at Widener University . Calculate the cell potential and free energy available for the following electrochemical systems. Identify the limiting reagent in the reaction. Calculate the number of moles of electrons exchanged when the reaction goes to completion. Batteries are frequently made using solid electrodes.
Tin cans are very common.
After the cell is complete, what is E o cell . Which side of the can is the anode, and which is the cathode. Write out all the relevant half reactions for this system. In real life, the concentrations are not likely to be the same as under standard conditions. M, what is the cell potential.
