Explain the negative terminal of a voltmeter

Reference no: EM13519820

Prepare an electrochemical cell by connecting the negative terminal of a voltmeter to a strip of zinc in a solution of 0.500 M ZnCl2(aq) and the positive terminal to a strip of copper in a solution of 0.100 M CuCl2(aq). The two half-cells are connected via a salt bridge.

a) Draw the cell in the space below and write the two reduction half-reaction involved

b) Write the line notation for the cell:___________________________

c) Calculate Eo for the cell. Which direction do the electrons flow?

d) Use the Nernst equation to calculate E_cell.
