प्रश्न
Consider a cell given below:
\[\ce{Cu | Cu^{2+} || Cl^{-} | Cl_{2},Pt}\]
Write the reactions that occur at anode and cathode
Advertisements
उत्तर
Anode: \[\ce{Cu -> Cu^{2+} + 2e^{-}}\]
Cathode: \[\ce{Cl_2 + 2e^{-} -> 2Cl^{-}}\]
\[\ce{Cu}\] is anode as it is getting oxidised.
\[\ce{Cl2}\] is cathode as it is getting reduced.

Oxidation-reduction reactions are commonly known as redox reactions. They involve transfer of electrons from one species to another. In a spontaneous reaction, energy is released which can be used to do useful work. The reaction is split into two half-reactions. Two different containers are used and a wire is used to drive the electrons from one side to the other and a Voltaic/Galvanic cell is created. It is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. A salt bridge also connects to the half-cells. The reading of the voltmeter gives the cell voltage or cell potential or electromotive force. If \[\ce{E^0_{cell}}\] is positive the reaction is spontaneous and if it is negative the reaction is non-spontaneous and is referred to as electrolytic cell. Electrolysis refers to the decomposition of a substance by an electric current. One mole of electric charge when passed through a cell will discharge half a mole of a divalent metal ion such as Cu2+. This was first formulated by Faraday in the form of laws of electrolysis.
