Consider a galvanic cell based upon the following half reactions: Ag+ + e- → Ag 0.80 V Pb2+ + 2e- → Pb -0.13 V
How would the following changes alter the potential of the cell?
Adding Ag+ ions to the silver half reaction (assume no volume change)
Adding Pb2+ ions to the lead half reaction (assuming no volume change).
Removing Pb2+ ions from solution by precipitating them out of the lead half reaction (assume no volume change). Adding equal amounts of water to both half reactions.
increase, decrease or no change in potential

A student measures the potential of a cell constructed by immersing a copper strip into a l M CuSO4 solution and a silver wire immersed in a l M AgNO3 solution. The two solutions are connected by a salt bridge. She measures a potential of 0.45 V, with the Cu electrode being the negative electrode. 7. The student adds 6 M NH3 to be CuSO4 solution until the Cu2+ ion is essentially all converted to Cu(NH3)4 2+ ion. The potential of the cell, Ecell, goes up to 0.92 V and the Cu electrode is still negative. What is the concentration of the Cu2+ ion under these conditions?

A 0.1002 g sample containing only CCl4 and CHCl3 was dissolved in methanol and electrolyzed at the surface of a mercury electrode at –1.0 V, which required 50.20 s at a constant current of 0.200 A. The potential of the cathode was then adjusted and held constant at –1.80 V. Completion of the titration at this potential required 382.35 s at a constant current of 0.200 A. Calculate the respective percentages of CCl4 and CHCl3 in the mixture. The electrolysis reactions are given below. 2CCl4 + 2H+ + 2e- + 2Hg(l) → 2CHCl3 + Hg2Cl2(s) [occurs at –1.0V] 2CHCl3 + 6H+ + 6e- + 6Hg(l) → 2CH4 + 3Hg2Cl2(s) [occurs at –1.80V]

Elastic unequal mass collision: We have a similar situation as in the previous question but now truck A has mass mA and initial velocity uA. Truck B has mass mB and is initially at rest. The collision is elastic. (a) Show the subsequent velocities vA, vB in the laboratory frame are: vA = (mA − mB)uA/(mA + mB), vB = 2mAuA/(mA + mB). On the basis of these results, find the velocities in the two limiting cases: (i) mA >> mB; (ii) mA << mB. (b) Find the subsequent initial and final velocities u′ A, u′ B and v′ A, v′ B in the CM Frame
