Shown below is an electrochemical cell with anode a and cathode c. Both the anode and the cathode are inert electrodes. The liquid shown in compartment b of the cell is molten potassium chloride, KCl(l).




Determine whether this is a galvanic or an electrolytic cell and give the reaction occurring at the anode and the reaction occurring at the cathode.
◦ Electrolytic cell
Anode reaction: K(s) → K+(l) + e-
Cathode reaction: Cl2(g) + 2e- → 2 Cl-(l)
◦ Galvanic cell
Anode reaction: K(s) → K+(l) + e-
Cathode reaction: Cl2(g) + 2e- → 2 Cl-(l)
◦ Electrolytic cell
Anode reaction: 2 Cl-(l) → Cl2(g) + 2e-
Cathode reaction: K+(l) + e- → K(s)
◦ Galvanic cell
Anode reaction: K(s) → K+(l) + e-
Cathode reaction: Cl2(g) + 2e- → 2 Cl-(l)

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

No drugs are available to relieve parathyroid disease. Parathyroid disease is caused by a parathyroid tumor, and it needs to be removed by surgery.

Did you know?

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in overdose can seriously damage the liver. It should never be taken by people who use alcohol heavily; it can result in severe liver damage and even a condition requiring a liver transplant.

Did you know?

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
