Voltaic Cells Using Spontaneous Reactions to Generate Electrical Energy

A voltaic cell (A) generates energy from a spontaneous reaction (6G 0), whereas an electrolytic cel (B) requires energy to drive a non-spontaneous reaction (AG 0). In both types of cell, two electrodes dip [Pg.687]

In the remainder of this section, we examine this spontaneous reaction as the basis of a voltaic (galvanic) cell. [Pg.687]

Judging from what we see, the reaction involves the reduction of Cu ion to Cu metal, which must be accompanied by the oxidation of Zn metal to Zn ion. The overall reaction consists of two half-reactions [Pg.687]
