A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Ered-1.19 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the cathode of a galvanic cell that
must provide at least 1.30 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions.
Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the cathode of the cell.
Is there a minimum standard reduction
potential that the half-reaction used at
the anode of this cell can have?
If so, check the "yes" box and calculate
the minimum. Round your answer to 2
decimal places. If there is no lower
limit, check the "no" box.
Is there a maximum standard reduction
potential that the half-reaction used at
the anode of this cell can have?
If so, check the "yes" box and calculate
the maximum. Round your answer to 2
decimal places. If there is no upper
limit, check the "no" box.
By using the information in the ALEKS
Data tab, write a balanced equation
describing a half reaction that could be
used at the anode of this cell.
Note: write the half reaction as it would
actually occur at the anode.
