Can we use KCI as electrolyte in the salt bride of the cell `Cu (s) | Cu^(2+) (aq)|| Ag^(+)(aq)|Ag(s)` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether KCl can be used as an electrolyte in the salt bridge of the electrochemical cell represented by the reaction \( \text{Cu (s)} | \text{Cu}^{2+} (aq) || \text{Ag}^{+} (aq) | \text{Ag (s)} \), we need to analyze the components of the cell and the potential reactions that could occur. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Components of the Cell:** - The cell consists of two half-cells: one with copper (\( \text{Cu} \)) and copper ions (\( \text{Cu}^{2+} \)), and the other with silver ions (\( \text{Ag}^{+} \)) and silver (\( \text{Ag} \)). - The salt bridge connects these two half-cells and allows for the flow of ions to maintain electrical neutrality. ...
