Galvanic Cell

This document discusses three questions about galvanic cell reactions. The first question asks which statement about a zinc-copper cell is true, and the answer is that the copper electrode gains mass and is the cathode. The second question asks which half-reaction occurs at the anode of a zinc-mercury oxide cell, and the answer is zinc oxidizing to zinc ions. The third question asks which half-reaction occurs at the cathode of the same cell, and the answer is mercury oxide reducing to mercury.

Galvanic Cell

1. Consider the galvanic cell shown in this animation. Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Cu
(s) + Zn2+ (aq)
When the cell is running spontaneously, which choice has
only true statements?
A. The copper electrode loses mass and the zinc electrode is the
cathode.
B. The copper electrode gains mass and the copper electrode is the
cathode.
C. The zinc electrode gains mass and the zinc electrode is the
anode.
D. The zinc electrode loses mass and the zinc electrode is the
cathode.

2. When the cell is running spontaneously, the copper electrode gains mass
and the copper electrode is the cathode.A certain galvanic cell has for its
spontaneous cell reaction: Zn + HgO ZnO + Hg
Which is the half-reaction occurring at the anode?
A. HgO + 2 e Hg + O2
B. Zn2+ + 2 e Zn
C. Zn Zn2+ + 2 e
D. ZnO + 2 e Zn

3. A certain galvanic cell has for its spontaneous cell reaction: Zn + HgO ZnO +

Hg
Which is the half-reaction occurring at the cathode?
A. HgO + 2 e Hg + O2
B. Hg Hg2+ + 2 e
C. Zn Zn2+ + 2 e
D. ZnO + 2 e Zn
