The more negative the reduction potential for an element or compound, the more.....
easily it is oxidized
easily it is reduced
easily it acts as an electrolyte
none of the above
Given their standard reduction potentials, which of the species is going to be oxidized?
Cu2+/Cu = 0.34V
Zn2+/Zn = -0.76V
Cu
Zn
CuSO4
ZnSO4
What reaction occurs at the anode?
Ag+/Ag = 0.80V
Ni2+/Ni = -0.25V
Ag+ + e- →Ag
Ag → Ag+ + e-
Ni2+ + 2e- → Ni
Ni → Ni2+ + 2e-
What would be the theoretical cell potential of the previous electrochemical cell?
Ag+/Ag = 0.80V
Ni2+/Ni = -0.25V
1.05V
-1.05V
0.55V
-0.55V
The reaction 2NaCl (s) → 2Na (s)+ Cl2 (g) is an example of
a reduction reaction, only
both an oxidation and reduction reaction
an oxidation reaction, only
neither an oxidation nor a reduction reaction
Mg + PbCl2 → MgCl2 + Pb
Which statement correctly describes the oxidation and reduction that occur?
Mg is oxidized and Pb+2 is reduced
Mg is oxidized and Cl- is reduced
Mg is reduced and Cl- is oxidized
Mg is reduced and Pb+2 is oxidized
