Consider a battery made from one half-cell that consists of a capper electrode in 1 M CuSO4 solution and another half—cell that consists of a lead electrode in 1 M Pb(NO3)2 solution. (a) What are the reactions at the anode, cathode, and the overall reaction? (b) What is the standard cell potential for the battery? (c) Most devices designed to use dry-cell batteries can operate between 1.0 and 1.5 V. Could this tell he used to make a battery that could replace a dry-cell battery? Why or why not. (d) Suppose sulfuric acid is added to the half—cell with the lead electrode and some PbSO4(s) forms. Would the cell potential increase, decrease, or remain the same?
Consider a concentration cell that has both electrodes made of some metal M. Solution A in one compartment of the cell contains 1.0 M M2+. Solution B in the other cell compartment has a volume of 1.00 L. At the beginning of the experiment 0.0100 mole of M(NO3)2 and 0.0100 mole of Na2SO4 are dissolved in solution B (ignore volume changes), where the reaction M2+(aq)+SO42(aq)MSO4(s) occurs. For this reaction equilibrium is rapidly established, whereupon the cell potential is found to be 0.44 V at 25C.
