Worked practice questions

In a GALVANIC cell, the ANODE is:

  1. The positive electrode where reduction occurs
  2. The positive electrode where oxidation occurs
  3. The negative electrode where oxidation occurs
  4. The negative electrode where reduction occurs
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. The negative electrode where oxidation occurs

In a galvanic cell, the anode is the NEGATIVE electrode where OXIDATION occurs (electrons released go to external circuit). The cathode is the POSITIVE electrode where REDUCTION occurs. **Mnemonic:** AN-OX (anode oxidation).

The standard electrode potential of the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is defined as:

  1. $+1.10$ V (the Daniell cell value)
  2. $0$ V exactly (the universal reference)
  3. $+0.34$ V (the Cu electrode value)
  4. $-0.76$ V (the Zn electrode value)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. $0$ V exactly (the universal reference)

SHE is the UNIVERSAL REFERENCE with E° defined as 0 V exactly. All other electrode potentials are measured relative to SHE. Cu/Cu²⁺ = +0.34 V; Zn/Zn²⁺ = −0.76 V.

The Daniell cell (Zn-Cu) has E°cell = +1.10 V. Calculate ΔG° (F = 96500 C/mol):

  1. $-106 kJ$ (using wrong n value)
  2. $-53 kJ$ (using n = 1)
  3. $+212 kJ$ (positive sign incorrect)
  4. $-212 kJ/mol$ (using n = 2)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. $-212 kJ/mol$ (using n = 2)

ΔG° = −nFE° = −2 × 96500 × 1.10 = −212,300 J/mol = −212 kJ/mol. Negative ΔG° confirms spontaneous reaction (galvanic cell works). n = 2 for Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻.
