MINI-LAB ACTIVITY

Do what is asked in the task below. Show your complete solution. Write your answer on the space
provided.

Co(s) is the anode (in left beaker) in a solution of Co(NO 3)2, Cu(s) is the cathode (in right beaker) in a
solution of Cu(NO3)2. The salt bridge (NaNO3) connects the two solutions to make electrons flow from the
anode to the cathode.

1. Draw the galvanic cell, labeling the anode and cathode and showing the direction of electron and ion
flow in a short bond paper. Take a photo of your drawing and paste it on the space provided.

2. Write the oxidation half-reaction.

Co(s)  Co+2(aq) + 2e-

3. Write the reduction half-reaction.

Cu+2 (aq) + 2e-  Cu(s)

4. Write the overall cell reaction.

Co(s) + Cu+2 (aq) Co+2(aq) + Cu(s)

5. Write the overall cell notation.

Co(s) | Co+2 (aq) || Cu+2(aq) | Cu(s)

6. Write the overall cell potential.

E° = 0.62 V
