Question 1

What does a positive E°_cell indicate?

  • a spontaneous reaction
  • a non-spontaneous reaction
  • no reaction occurs

💡 Hint: Think about the 'E' in E° for Energizing.

Question 2

The anode is where what process occurs?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember what happens in oxidation: there's a loss.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate E°_cell for a galvanic cell where the half-reactions are: Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ → Cr(s) (E° = -0.74 V) and Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag(s) (E° = +0.80 V).

💡 Hint: Identify which is the cathode and anode first.

Question 2

Discuss how E°_cell would change if the temperature was increased significantly. What effects would it have?

💡 Hint: Consider how temperature can influence chemical reactions and cell efficiency.
