Faraday's Laws
This is an exercise in electrolytic processes. In all cases, the reaction is being driven in the nonspontaneous direction. When you press "New Question", an unbalanced redox process with a question will appear below the table. Determine the value of the answer, enter it in the cell and press "Check Answer." Results appear in the second table. Be careful about the dimensions, the cathode/anode and the direction of spontaneity. You need a table of standard potentials to answer the question and you can assume all molarities and pressures are at unity.
- If one of the reactions is not in your table, pressing "Display Potentials" will present a list half reactions used on this page. These are not presented a standard electrochemical series, so you may have to hunt a bit to find the reaction needed. The page can be printed for comvenience.
- Pressing the "Show Answer" will cause the solution to
appear and you will no longer be able to submit an answer for that
problem.
