Write the net ionic equations that occur in the following cells:
1. Pb/Pb2+ // Ag+/Ag
2. Zn/Zn2+ // Pb2+/Pb
3. Al/Al3+ // Cd2+/Cd
1)
anode reaction: oxidation takes place
Pb(s) -------------------------> Pb+2 (aq) + 2e-
cathode reaction : reduction takes palce
2 Ag + (aq) + 2e- -----------------------------> 2Ag (s)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
net ionic equation
Pb(s) +2Ag+ (aq) -------------------------> Pb+2 (aq) + 2Ag(s)
2)
anode reaction: oxidation takes place
Zn(s) -------------------------> Zn+2 (aq) + 2e-
cathode reaction : reduction takes palce
Pb+2 (aq) + 2e- -----------------------------> Pb (s)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
net ionic equation
Zn (s) + Pb+2 (aq) -------------------------> Zn+2 (aq) + Pb(s)
3)
anode reaction: oxidation takes place
2 Al (s) ------------------------->2 Al+3 (aq) + 6e-
cathode reaction : reduction takes palce
3 Cd+2 (aq) + 6e- -----------------------------> 3Cd (s)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
net ionic equation
2Al (s) +3 Cd+2 (aq) -------------------------> 2 Al+3 (aq) +3Cd (s)
