A galvanic cell (battery) is represented by the shorthand below.Look up the standard half cell potentials in your textbook or onthe internet. (Make sure you select the half reactions thathave all the species required, and no other species.)
           Cd(s) / Cd2+ // IO3- , H+,Cl-, ICl2- / Pt(s)
(a) Calculate Eo for this battery.
(b) What is the oxidizing agent (chemical formula of thespecies, not just the element)?
What is the reducing agent (chemical formula of the species, notjust the element)?
           What species is/are found in the cathode compartment?
(c) Determine the overall balanced chemical equation for thebattery reaction.
(d) Use Nernst eqn and the concentrations below, calculateexpected cell potential.
[Cd2+] = 0.0250 MÂ Â Â Â [IO3-] = 0.100Â Â Â Â pH =4.00Â Â Â Â Â [Cl-] = 0.500MÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â [ICl2-] = 1.75 x10-5 M
