Chemistry

A Zn-Cu battery isconstructed as follows at 25oC

Zn(s) |Zn+2(aq) (0.20 M) ||Cu+2(aq) (2.5 M) |Cu(s)

The mass of each electrode is 200.0gram and the volume of the electrolytes is 1.0 L

a) calculate thecell potential of the cell

b) calculate themass of each electrode after 10.0 amp. of current has flowed for10.0 hour Remember, the anode loses mass because of the oxidationreaction while the cathode gains mass due to the reductionprocess.

c) how long can thisbattery deliver a current of 10.0 amp before it goes dead?
