Question

Draw the cell diagram for a Galvanic Cell consisting of a Cd electrode placed in a 1.0 M Cd(NO3)2 solution and an Ag electrode placed in a 1.0 M AgNO3 solution. Answer the following questions: (i) show the half-cell reactions (ii) balance the overall reaction and (iii) calculate electromotive force (emf) of the battery.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A cell diagram is Chemistry's short-hand for representing a galvanic cell (voltaic cell). (that is, the oxidation reaction is shown on the left) . When the diagram is read from left to right it shows the direction of the electron flow through the galvanic cell (voltaic cell).
