Question 1.
What is a galvanic cell?
Show hintHide hint
Think of it as a battery.
Question 2.
Where does oxidation occur in a galvanic cell?
Show hintHide hint
Remember the anode is where electrons are released.
3Question 3.
What is the role of the cathode in a galvanic cell?
- A) Where oxidation occurs
- B) Where reduction occurs
- C) Releases electrons
Show hintHide hint
Remember that reduction means gaining electrons.
4Question 4.
True or False: The anode is positively charged in a galvanic cell.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the flow of electrons.
Question 5.
In a galvanic cell, if the anode is zinc and the cathode is copper, write the overall balanced equation for the reaction and explain each half-reaction.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on oxidation numbers and what is being converted.
Question 6.
Describe how changing the concentration of the solutions in a galvanic cell would affect the cell potential and the flow of electrons.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the Nernst equation and its variables.
