1 )An electrochemical cell is constructed using two half cells. One half cell consists of an inert platinum electrode and a solution of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺. The other half cell consists of a lead electrode and a solution of Pb²⁺.
Current will flow from one electrode to the other electrode when the cell is completed using a voltmeter and a salt bridge.
(a) Write relevant half equations and a balanced net ionic equation for the overall cell reaction.

Solution

b) Calculate the standard cell potential (E° ).

Solution

c) Identify the anode, cathode, metals and ions by labelling the following diagram.

Solution

d) Identify an appropriate electrolyte to use in the salt bridge.
