Question 1

What is the reduction half-reaction for the following overall cell reaction?

Ni2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s) → Ni(s) + 2 Ag+(aq)


◦ Ni2+(aq) + 2 e- → Ni(s)
◦ Ni2+(aq) + e- → Ni(s)
◦ Ag(s) + e- → Ag+(aq)
◦ Ag+(aq) + e- → Ag(s)

Question 2

The iron content of foods can be determined by dissolving them in acid (forming Fe3+), reducing the iron(III) to iron(II), and titrating with cerium(IV):

Fe2+(aq) + Ce4+(aq) → Fe3+(aq) + Ce3+(aq).


Identify the two half-reactions in the above reaction.

Did you know?

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

The calories found in one piece of cherry cheesecake could light a 60-watt light bulb for 1.5 hours.

Did you know?

The word drug comes from the Dutch word droog (meaning "dry"). For centuries, most drugs came from dried plants, hence the name.

Did you know?

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.
