Draw an electrochemical chemical cell containing the metals calcium (Ca, Ca+2) and platinum (Pt,Pt+2) with potassium nitrate (KNO3 : potassium and nitrate ions dissociated) in the salt bridge. Use your reduction potential chart to determine which metal gets oxidized and which one gets reduced. Assume the solutions in each half cell are nitrates of the metals. Label the following:

a. Cathode and anode (1 point)
b. Direction of current flow (1 point)
c. Positive pole and negative pole (1 point)
d. Direction of nitrate ion flow through the salt bridge (1 point)
e. Direction of potassium ion flow in the salt bridge (1 point)
f. Which electrode gains and which loses mass (1 point)
g. The theoretical voltage reading on the voltmeter in the system (2 pts)

Oxidation numbers tell us:
the likelihood of an atom bonding to oxygen.
the apparent charge on an atom in a compound or ion.
the number of oxygens needed in a chemical ratio.
how fast a metal will rust.
A voltaic cell has an anode and a cathode. How do electrons act in relation to these two electrodes?
Electrons are created at the anode and destroyed at the cathode.
Electrons flow from the cathode to the anode.
Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode.
Electrons are not involved in redox. chemistry.
Which of the following metals would be the cathode, thereby losing electrons to all the other metals in the group?
Tin(Sn)
Nickel(Ni)
Cesium(Cs)
Platinum(Pt)

A car's headlights draining while the car is not running.
The alternator of a car charging the car's battery.
An old milk pail rusting on a rockpile.
Playing with my Nintendo Switch on a car trip.
Plugging in my Switch when it's dead.
having your baseball glove "bronzed" after your playing days are over through electroplating.

An electrochemical cell, like a common flashlight battery becomes "dead" when:
all the atoms in the battery have lost their valence electrons.
when the reactants in the redox. reaction have all been used up.
when all the products in the redox. reaction have turned to reactants.
when the battery has corroded.
Rechargeable batteries:
have a reversible redox. reaction happening inside.
use electrolytic processes to recharge and electrochemical processes to create electricity.
can be cycled over and over hundreds of times.
all of the above.
I can make an electrochemical cell at home. I need:
2 strips of metal, a conductive solution(like the acid in a lemon), and wires to connect the stuff. Voltmeter optional.
1 strip of metal, two conductive solutions, and a porous cup to act as the salt bridge.
2 strips of metal, a battery, and a compound to decompose.
two strips of bacon, two eggs over easy, and a side of corn beef hash.
