Cd(s)/Cd(NO3)^2(aq) // AgNO^3 (aq)/ Ag(s)

Question

cell potential

Answer 1

The cell notation for the given redox reaction is:

Cd(s) | Cd2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s)

The oxidation half-reaction is:

Cd(s) → Cd2+(aq) + 2e-

The reduction half-reaction is:

Ag+(aq) + e- → Ag(s)

The overall cell potential can be calculated using the standard reduction potentials for the half-reactions involved. The standard reduction potential for Cd2+(aq) to Cd(s) is -0.403V, and the standard reduction potential for Ag+(aq) to Ag(s) is +0.799V.

The overall cell potential can be calculated as:

Ecell = Ered - Eox

Ecell = (+0.0799V) - (-0.403V)

Ecell = +0.482V

So, the cell potential for the given redox reaction is +0.482V.
