(a). Which is the anode?
(b). Which is the cathode?
(c). What happends at anode-reduction or oxidation?
(d). What happens at cathode-oxidation or reduction?
(e). Which electrode loses mass?
(f). Which electrode gais mass?
(g). white the electrode reaction.
(h). Write the cell reaction.
(i). Which metal has greater tendency to loss electron-Cu or Ag?
(J) Which is the more reactive metal Cu or Ag?
(k). What is the function of salt bridge represented by the symbol||?

    If the standard electrode poten tial of Cu^(2+)//Cu electrode is 0.34V. What is the electrode potential of 0.01 M concentration of Cu^(2+) ?

    Assertion The anode is refeeredto as an oxidation electrode while the cathode is referred to as reduction electrode. Reason When an electric current is passed through a molten electrolyte, the anions move to the anode where they lose electrons and the cations move to the cathode where they gain electrons.
