Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with analyzing a new electrochemical cell with elements A and B. A is oxidized to A²⁺ while B is reduced from B²⁺ to B(s). Write the cell notation, explaining your reasoning.
💡 Hint: Think about where each oxidation and reduction happens.
A galvanic cell has copper at the anode and silver at the cathode. The concentrations are 0.2 M Cu²⁺ and 0.1 M Ag⁺. What is the overall cell notation, and how would the salt bridge help in this scenario?
💡 Hint: Identify the anode and cathode based on oxidation and reduction.
