A metal electrode immersed in a solution is used to convert a chemical reaction into an electric current. The electrode potential is measured as the voltage difference between the metal and the solution. The cathodic and anodic Tafel slopes are then calculated in order to determine the rate of the chemical reaction occurring at the electrode. Given a metal electrode immersed in a 0.1 M solution of AgNO3, the cathodic and anodic Tafel slopes are determined to be 120 mV/decade and 110 mV/decade, respectively. Calculate the exchange current density for the reaction occurring at the electro

Consider a reaction where Ag is oxidized to Ag+ ions in a solution containing AgNO3. We set up an electrochemical cell with a Ag/Ag+ electrode as the anode and a platinum electrode as the cathode. The standard electrode potential for the Ag/Ag+ electrode is +0.80 V. What is the overpotential required to achieve a current of 2 A if the applied voltage is 1.00 V?

A chemistry student wants to design an electrochemical cell that produces a voltage of at least 1.5 volts. The available electrodes are copper and aluminum. Using Faraday's law, calculate the mass of copper needed to produce the required voltage if aluminum is used as the other electrode. The specific gravity of copper is 8.96 g/cm³, and the standard reduction potential of copper and aluminum are -0.34 V and -1.66 V, respectively.
