Electrode Potentials + Cells.pdf
- State the meaning of the term electrochemical series (1 mark)-2021
- An EMF value for a commercial lithium-iodine cell is 2.80 V
Suggest why this value is different from the value calculated in part (b) (1 mark)-2021
- Suggest one reason why water isn't used as a solvent in a lithium battery.- 2021
- State what must be done to maintain the EMF of this fuel cell when in use (1 mark)
- State the substances and conditions needed in a standard hydrogen electrode (3 marks)
- draw a graph to show how the EMF (voltage) of a hydrogen-oxygen cell changes over time (1 mark)
- state the main environmental advantage of using a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell to power a car (1 mark)
- suggest why using a H-O fuel cell may not be carbon-neutral (1 mark)
- risk of using a H2-O2 fuel cell in a vehicle (1 mark)
- main advantage of using H2 in a H2-O2 fuel cell rather than H2 in an internal combustion engine (1 mark)
- Give 2 properties of platinum that make it suitable to be used as an external conductor in a cell (2 marks)
- How is a current generated in a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell (2 marks)

- In this circuit, electrons flow through the ammeter from right to left. Suggest why the electrons move in this direction (2 marks)
- Suggest why the EMF values of the acidic and alkaline hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells are the same (1 mark) -2022
- function of the porous separator/ salt bridge (1 mark) -2022
