Question

Aluminum and iron are used in a cell to produce electricity. Using the standard reduction potentials shown, calculate the cell potential and identify the type of cell.

Al3+(aq) + 3e– Al(s) Eº = –1.66 V
Fe2+(aq) + 2e– Fe(s) Eº = –0.41 V

A. +2.08 V; electrolytic
B. –1.25 V; galvanic
C. –2.08 V; electrolytic
D. +1.25 V; galvanic

Answer 1

@aaronq it's C right?

Answer 2

if it produces electricity, it cannot be electrolytic

Answer 3

ohh so D? @aaronq

Answer 4

yes yes
