What is the potential of a galvanic cell at non-standard condition formed by an Al electrode in a 1M concentration Al(NO3)3 solution and an Ag electrode in a 0.2M concentration AgNO3 solution. The galvanic cell operates at 25ºC. Answer the following: a) Standard potential of the cell b) Cell potential at non-standard conditions. c) Cathode polarity d) Direction of electron flow   Data: Ag+1/Ag E° = + 0.80 V Al+3/ Al° E° = - 1.66 V ΔE = ΔE° - [ (0.0592/n) x logQ]

Question

What is the potential of a galvanic cell at non-standard condition formed by an Al electrode in a 1M concentration Al(NO3)3 solution and an Ag electrode in a 0.2M concentration AgNO3 solution. The galvanic cell operates at 25ºC.

Answer the following:

a) Standard potential of the cell

b) Cell potential at non-standard conditions.

c) Cathode polarity

d) Direction of electron flow

 

Data:

Ag+1/Ag E° = + 0.80 V

Al+3/ Al° E° = - 1.66 V

ΔE = ΔE° - [ (0.0592/n) x logQ]
