Explain a voltic cell is constructed by immersing a strip of silver metal in a 1.0M AgNO3 solution as well as a strip of cadmium metal in a 1.0M Cd(NO3)2 solution. The circuit is completed by a wire as well as a salt bridge in the usual way.
1. State the balanced overall cell reaction.
2. Explain what is the cell potential for the voltaic cell described above?
3. State the balanced half-reaction that is occurring at the anode.
4. State the balanced half-reaction that is occurring at the cathode.
5. Explain what would be the potential of the cell if it was modified to use 0.10 M AgNO3 solution as well as a 0.3M Cd(NO3)2 solution instead?
