Solved: The diagram here shows an electrolytic cell

Chapter 18, Problem 18.139

(choose chapter or problem)

The diagram here shows an electrolytic cell consisting of a Co electrode in a 2.0 M Co(NO3)2 solution and a Mg electrode in a 2.0 M Mg(NO3)2 solution. (a) Label the anode and cathode and show the half-cell reactions. Also label the signs (1 or 2) on the battery terminals. (b) What is the minimum voltage to drive the reaction? (c) After the passage of 10.0 A for 2.00 h the battery is replaced with a voltmeter and the electrolytic cell now becomes a galvanic cell. Calculate Ecell. Assume volumes to remain constant at 1.00 L in each compartment. Battery Salt bridge
