on a bracelet using a current of 2.5 A. The half reaction has been provided for you.
c)Two half-cells are connected under standard conditions to make an electrochemical cell.
The two half-cells are a copper-copper (I) ion (Cu/Cu+) and an aluminum-aluminum ion (Al/Al3+). Using your the Standard Reduction Potentials below answer.
Al3+(aq) + 3e- → Al(s) -1.66 V
Cu2+(aq) + e- → Cu(s) 0.52 V
i)Write the cell diagram for the cell obtained when the two half cells are connected
ii)Identify which reaction is the anode and which is the cathode.
(iii)Calculate the emf for the cell
(iv)Write the overall balanced redox reaction for the electrochemical cell
