Consider two cells, the first with Al and Ag electrodes and the second with Zn and Ni electrodes, each in 1.00 M solutions of their ions. If connected as voltaic cells in series, which two metals are plated, and what is the total potential, E ∘ ?

so what is the problem with your lab report and whats the subject of the lab report? i will you

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
