Get started for freeIn a certain electrolysis experiment, \(1.44 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{Ag}\) were deposited in one cell (containing an aqueous \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) solution), while \(0.120 \mathrm{~g}\) of an unknown metal X was deposited in another cell (containing an aqueous \(\mathrm{XCl}_{3}\) solution) in series with the \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) cell. Calculate the molar mass of \(\mathrm{X}\).
Calculate the standard potential of the cell consisting of the \(\mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\) half-cell and the SHE. What will the emf of the cell be if \(\left[\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\right]=0.45 \mathrm{M}, \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{H}_{2}}=2.0 \mathrm{~atm}\), and \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=1.8 \mathrm{M} ?\)
Calculate the emf of the following concentration cell at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) : $$ \mathrm{Cu}(s)\left|\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(0.080 \mathrm{M}) \| \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(1.2 \mathrm{M})\right| \mathrm{Cu}(s) $$
Describe an experiment that would enable you to determine which is the cathode and which is the anode in a galvanic cell using copper and zinc electrodes.
