1. A galvanic cell is constructed using the following materials: 2 beakers, strip of nickel metal, strip of magnesium metal, nickel(II) sulfate, magnesium sulfate, salt bridge, connecting wires, and a voltmeter.

 

1. Draw and label a diagram of the cell with the underlined terms.
2. Identify the anode and the cathode in the cell.
3. Label the direction of electron AND ion flow.
4. Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents.
5. Write the equations for the half-reactions that occur in the cell.

 

 

1. Consider the galvanic cell represented by the following shorthand cell notation:

Mg(s) I Mg+ ²( aq)  II cu+(aq) I Cu(s)

1. Identify the stronger oxidizing agent and the stronger reducing agent.

b.Write chemical equations to represent the half-reactions at the cathode and anode.
