Question

Use a Standard Reduction table to write a balanced redox equation, and to determine the cell potential and the number of electrons transferred for the spontaneous process that occurs.
Table: http://www.webassign.net/ebooks/wertzq/html/resource/redox.html

(a) Aluminum is placed in hydrochloric acid.

What is the Chemical Formula?

Standard cell potential: V
Number of electrons transferred:


(b) Copper is placed in nitric acid.

What is the Chemical Formula?

Standard cell potential: V
Number of electrons transferred:

Explanation / Answer

a)2Al + 6HCL-> 2Alcl3 +3 H2 electrons transferred = 6 2 AL -> 2 Al3+ +6 e- b)Cu +2HNO3-> Cu (NO3)2 + H2 No of electrons transffered =1 Cu-> CU2+ e-
