For the following battery: Cd(s) | CdCl2(aq) || Cl–(aq) | Cl2(l) | C(s)
a) Write the reduction half reaction occuring at the C(s) electrode. Include physical states of reactants and products
C(s) electrode: _____________________ Eo = 1.4V
b) From which electrode will electrons flow from the battery into a circuit? Cd(s) electrode or C(s) electrode
c) Calculate the mass of Cl2 consumed if the battery delivers a constant current of 783A for 48.0 min (in kg)
Cd(s) | CdCl2(aq) || Cl–(aq) | Cl2(l) | C(s)
a. reduction half reaction
Cl2 + 2e- ------> 2Cl-
b. Cd cell is oxidation half cell
Electrons are flow from Cd electrode to Cl2 half cell. Cd(s) electrode >>>>>>answer
c. Cl2 + 2e- ------> 2Cl-
W = MCt/ZF
Z = 2
M = 71g/mole
C = 783A
t = 48min = 48*60 = 2880sec
W = MCt/ZF
W = 71*783*2880/2*96500 = 829.6g = 0.8296Kg >>>>answer
