Q66Multiple choice
Consider the Fig. 3.2 and answer the following questions. Fig. 3.2
This question refers to a figure in the original PDF.
- (i)Cell ‘A’ has ECell = 2V and Cell ‘B’ has ECell = 1.1V which of the two cells ‘A’ or ‘B’ will act as an electrolytic cell. Which electrode reactions will occur in this cell?
- (ii)If cell ‘A’ has ECell = 0.5V and cell ‘B’ has ECell = 1.1V then what will be the reactions at anode and cathode?
