Question

Is it possible to build a battery in which the anode chemistry is based on a half-reaction in which none of the species is a solid conductor? Consider, for example: Fe^2+ (aq) rightarrow Fe^3+ (aq) + 1e^- Choose the answer that best explains your choice. Yes-electrons generated are available to the cathode. No, there is not a way to get the electrons to the cathode without a solid to conduct the electrons. Yes, it could work as long as you used an inert reference electrode. Yes, as long as the cathode is solid. No, the battery would be short-circuited because of the liquid anode washing over the solid cathode.

Explanation / Answer

Ans- Yes, it could work as long as you used an inert reference lectrode

Yes, it is possible to build a battery where the anode chemistry is based on a half reaction in which none of the species used is a solid conductor. This can be done by using an inert reference electrode. The inert electrode does not particioates in the redox reaction any way, rather only helps to transfer the electrn from the anode to cathode.
