Q-5

Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction takes place at cathode.

Galvanic cell Reaction occuring at anode Reaction occuring at cathode
#1 H2 (g) -------> 2H+ (aq) + 2e- Mg2+ (aq) + 2e- ---------> Mg(s)
#2 H2 (g) -------> 2H+ (aq) + 2e- Pb2+ (aq) + 2e- ---------> Pb(s)
#3 H2 (g) -------> 2H+ (aq) + 2e- Ni2+ (aq) + 2e- ---------> Ni(s)

Q-6

Adding the two half cells reaction, we get the overall balanced reaction.

Galvanic cell Overall balanced reaction
#1 H2 (g) + Mg2+ (aq) <-------> 2H+ (aq) + Mg(s)
#2 H2 (g) + Pb2+ (aq) <-------> 2H+ (aq) + Pb(s)
#3 H2 (g) + Ni2+ (aq) <-------> 2H+ (aq) + Ni(s)

Q-7

Given, E0red = 0 V for hydrogen

Assuming that the cell potential is measured under standard conditions

E0cell = E0red(cathode) - E0red(anode) => E0cell = E0red(cathode)

Metal #1

  E0cell = E0red(cathode) = -2.37 V

Metal #2

  E0cell = E0red(cathode) = -0.143 V

Metal #3

  E0cell = E0red(cathode) = -0.249 V
