LONG QUESTIONS ON CHAPTERS 6 AND 7
1. Give a fully labelled diagram of a galvanic cell based on the
following reaction:
PbS04(s) + 2FeS04(aq) Fe2(SO4)3(aq) + Pb(s)
If the cell is short-circuited, indicate the direction of current,
electron flow and ion flow. Label clearly the anode, the cathode,
and give the electrode and cell reactions. Given that
Eo(PbIPbS041S0:-) = -0.36 V, E"(Fe3+, Fe2+) = +0.77 V
and F = 96 500 C mol- ', comment on the spontaneity of the
cell. Explain your answer, by calculating the value of AGO.
2. Draw the Daniel cell. Determine the potential of the cell at
25 "C, in which the molar concentration of the Zn2+ ions is
0.22 M and that of the Cu2+ ions is 0.003 M, given that
