Quiz Questions & Answers
Review every prompt, the correct responses, and helpful context to prep for your own run-through.
Question 1: What is the primary function of a salt bridge in a galvanic cell?
To maintain electrical neutrality by allowing ion migration
To generate voltage through chemical reactions
To separate the anode and cathode compartments completely
To allow electrons to flow between electrodes
Question 2: In a voltaic cell, which electrode undergoes oxidation?
The cathode
Both electrodes equally
Neither, as it's a reduction process
The anode
Question 3: How does increasing the concentration of reactants affect the cell potential in a galvanic cell, according to the Nernst equation framework?
It decreases the potential
It increases the potential
It has no effect
It reverses the cell reaction
Question 4: In electrolysis of water, why is the volume of hydrogen gas produced at the cathode twice that of oxygen at the anode?
Because the balanced equation shows 2H2O → 2H2 + O2
Due to higher solubility of hydrogen
Oxygen molecules are larger
The cathode attracts more electrons
Question 5: What consequence arises if standard electrode potentials are not used when comparing half-cells?
It simplifies the setup
No effect on redox reactions
The cell voltage calculation becomes too high
Predictions about spontaneity may be inaccurate due to non-standard conditions
Question 6: In a scenario where a copper-silver voltaic cell is set up, which metal serves as the anode?
Neither, as it's electrolytic
Silver, as it has a higher reduction potential
Both, alternating roles
Copper, because it oxidizes more readily
Question 7: Busting a myth: Is it true that in all electrochemical cells, electrons always flow from the anode to the cathode through the external circuit?
Yes, only in galvanic cells; in electrolytic cells, it's the opposite due to applied voltage
Yes, in both galvanic and electrolytic cells
Only in cells with salt bridges
No, electrons never flow externally
Question 8: Applying Faraday's first law, if the current passed through an electrolytic cell is doubled, what happens to the mass of substance deposited?
It halves
It remains the same
It doubles
It quadruples
