Study Notes
Unit B2 Lab: Building a Voltaic Cell
- This assignment applies oxidation-reduction principles to electrochemical cells.
- Chemical formulas and equations should include states of matter.
- Balancing chemical equations is required when needed.
- Completing the assessment by hand is recommended.
- Print the template and write answers.
- Digital completion is possible but less recommended due to equation editor's time consumption.
- Submit a single PDF file of the assignment pages, ensuring they are in order and readable.
- Scan using apps like Adobe Scan or CamScanner.
- Use a scanner.
- Complete using a stylus and tablet.
- Upload the file to the "Unit B2 Lab" assignment folder in D2L.
Observations and Cells (Page 2)
- Various electrochemical cell observations are provided for different cells.
- Each cell includes anode, cathode, reduction half-reactions, oxidation half-reactions, net cell reactions, predicted standard cell potentials, and observed cell potentials.
- Example cell configurations like Zn(s) | Zn2+(aq) || Cu2+(aq) | Cu(s) are listed.
Drawing Voltaic Cell Diagrams (Page 3)
- Students must draw diagrams of two cells from a virtual lab.
- Include beakers, salt bridge, wires, voltmeter, anode, and cathode.
- Label anode and cathode components.
- Indicate the direction of electron flow.
- Show the movement of cations and anions.
- Diagrams cannot be copied from the internet.
Comparisons and Considerations (Page 4)
- Compare predicted and observed cell potentials, noting discrepancies.
- Possible reasons for differences include solution concentration, temperature variations, and electrode limitations.
- Small voltaic cells were used to reduce chemical handling.
- Increased cell size won't impact equilibrium but may affect rate or output.
- Ni-Cd cell potential calculation example: Anode potential = Cell potential − Cathode potential (Example: Anode = 1.30V - 0.49V = 0.81V).
