  • Name a difference between a galvanic cell and fuel cell.
    Wire and membrane, continuous fuel supply, storage
  • Answer the question.
    A
  • What is the formula to find the energy required to heat an amount of water?
    Q = mct
  • Answer the question:
    D
  • Is electrode P the anode or cathode? Explain your answer.
    Anode
  • What is the reaction taking place at the anode?
    Zn(s) -> Zn2+ + 2e-
  • Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the complete combustion of butane (C4H10).
    Either is acceptable:
  • What are the standard conditions the electrochemical series were formed in?
    1M, 25 degrees C and 100 kPa
  • Define what is meant by an exothermic reaction.
    An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy into the surroundings resulting in a net negative change in enthalpy.
  • Calculate:
    17300
  • Define what is meant by an endothermic reaction.
    An endothermic reaction is a reaction that absorbs energy from the surroundings resulting in a net positive change in enthalpy.
  • What is the difference between a primary and secondary cell?
    A secondary cell is rechargeable.
  • What is the enthalpy of the reverse reaction?
    +10kJ/mol
  • Answer the question.
    B
  • What is the reaction taking place at the cathode?
    Ag+(aq) + e- -> Ag(s)
  • Answer the question.
    Rhubarb can be easily replenished.
  • What is the oxidant in the cell?
    Ag+
  • Define "renewable"
    Renewable is a description of something that is able to be replenished at the same rate or faster than its consumption.
  • What is the reducing agent?
    Zn
  • What is the purpose of the salt bridge in a galvanic cell?
    Adding a salt bridge completes the circuit allowing current to flow. Anions in the salt bridge flow toward the anode and cations in the salt bridge flow toward
  • Answer the question.
    Ethanol is the reducing agent
