Galvanic cells harness spontaneous oxidationreduction reactions to produce work by producing a current. They do so by controlling the flow of electrons from the species oxidized to the species reduced. How is a galvanic cell designed? What is in the cathode compartment? The anode compartment? What purpose do electrodes serve? Which way do electrons always flow in the wire connecting the two electrodes in a galvanic cell? Why is it necessary to use a salt bridge or a porous disk in a galvanic cell? Which way do cations flow in the salt bridge? Which way do the anions flow? What is a cell potential and what is a volt?
The measurement of pH using a glass electrode obeys the Nernst equation. The typical response of a pH meter at 25 00C is given by the equation where contains the potential of the reference electrode and all other potentials that arise in the cell that are not related to the hydrogen ion concentration. Assume that = 0.250 V and that a. What is the uncertainty in the values of pH and [H+] if the uncertainty in the measured potential is 1 m V ( 0.001 V)? b.

A 0.0712-g sample of a purified organic acid was dissolved in an alcohol-water mixture and titrated with coulometrically generated hydroxide ions. With a current of 0.0392 A, 241 s was required to reach aphenolphthalein end point. Calculate the equivalent mass of the acid.
In some old European churches, the stained-glass windowshave so darkened from corrosion and age that hardly anylight comes through. Microprobe analysis showed that tinycracks anddefects on the glass surface were enriched ininsoluble Mn(III) and Mn(IV) compounds. From AppendixE, suggest a reducing agent and conditions that might successfullyconvert thesecompounds to soluble Mn(II) withoutsimultaneously reducing Fe(III) (which gives the glassits colors) to Fe(II). Take MnO2 as representative of theinsoluble Mn(III) and Mn(IV) compounds.
