Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are given three half-cells: Cu²⁺/Cu, Ag⁺/Ag, and Fe²⁺/Fe. Arrange them in a galvanic cell based on their standard reduction potentials and define their roles.
💡 Hint: Think about which metal is reduced and which is oxidized based on their potentials.
In an experiment, the salt bridge fails, causing rapid ion migration. Predict the consequences on the galvanic cell operationality.
💡 Hint: Consider what happens when you can't balance charges in the half-cells.
