Which of the below is NOT a voltaic cell? a) Mg/Ag b) Mg/Cu c) Mg/Zn d) Zn/Pb
I KNOW THAT A AND B IS WRONG
you have to check the reduction potentials table and see if the reaction is above or below. Or the difference of the voltage, if it is positive the reaction is sponntaneous
BOTH OF C AND D ARE BELOW
the others?
OTHERS ARE COMMON EXAMPLE OF THE CELL
do you mean i have to calculate E if its "positive ">> is included as voltaic cell
usually just looking at the relative position of the reactions in the table and knowing that the first element in the couple is the one in the anodo and is going into oxidation, if it is below in the table than the second element you have a spontaneous reaction
???? but both of two element are below which means ??
looks that all of them are voltaic cells
wow
there is no correct choice
?
this is confusing
where is the question from?
lap experiment voltaic cell
are you sure
??
I am double checking
thank you <3
The question if from a printed book or typed by the teacher? there is the possibility of a typo mistake in the question?
i think by a lab instructor
from these
this question is pre-lab equation
sorry *question
this is the question
so it either c or d
I dont know!! sorry, you should ask your teacher and let me know the answer so I can learn something. So far we are doing everything fine, the first metal is the one undergoing oxidation and if the reaction is bellow in the table means that the oxidation potential will be higher than the reactions above in the table
thank you .. i will ,, you did your best though .. much appreciated <3... i will send you the answer later :P
Thanks!
