12 Section 4: Short Answer (5 points each) 41. Answer: In a galvanic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. Since oxidation is the loss of electrodes, the anode compartment is losing negative charge (or gaining positive charge). Since reduction is the gain of electrodes, the cathode compartment is gaining negative charge (or losing positive charge). Therefore, the redox reaction creates a buildup of positive charge on the anode side and a buildup of negative charge on the cathode side. Solutions must remain electrically neutral, so a salt bridge is introduced. Anions flow from the salt bridge to the anode compartment, and cations flow from the salt bridge to the cathode department in order to maintain electroneutrality. 42. Answer: No, we cannot expect the process to happen quickly. DeltaG is a thermodynamic quantity that tells us direction or favorability or urgency of a process, but not the speed. How fast a process occurs is determined by kinetics. Thus, a highly favorable process could proceed slowly. 3
