<p>Galvanic cell = chemical cell = opposite of electrolytic cell.</p>

<p>Alkali metals, NH4+, C2H3O2-, NO3-, ClO3-, ClO4- ALWAYS SOLUBLE
Cl-, Br-, I-, always soluble EXCEPT Ag+, Hg2,2+, Pb2+
F- and SO4,2- always soluble except Ca2+, Ba2+, Sr2+, Ag+, Hg2,2+ Pb2+</p>

<p>What times zones are y’all in? I am on the East Coast, it’s 6:36PM right now.</p>

<p>Also I am going to watch an episode of Breaking Bad before I go to sleep. Seems appropriate.</p>

<p>The gas law R, which is the one you use the most, is .08206 L-atm/mol-K, and the thermo is 8.31 J/mok-K, but you’re given these on the test so don’t stress about memorizing them.</p>

<p>East Coast.</p>

<p>HENDERSON HASSELBACH equation on the equations sheet is used for buffers</p>

<p>cali - they give you the values on the equation sheet
frizzle - a galvanic cell is also a voltaic cell or a battery or an electrochemical cell</p>

<p>Holy hell this thread got amazingly active in the past 5 hours. 10 pages</p>

<p>HI EAST COASTERS :smiley:
I’m in west coast (though approx a year ago I was in HK)- 3:30pm rite now. GAHHHH
Do you still have the exam at 7 30am?</p>

<p>So what would you be using a galvanic cell for?</p>

<p>Remember for buffers it always depends on whether the base and acid that are titrating are strong or weak.</p>

<p>For ICE tables when do u know where to put the -x in C of ICE?</p>

<p>frizzle - galvanic cells are the ones with salt bridges, the ones with oxidation at the cathode and reduction at the anode. they are used in batteries…</p>

<p>Is the specific heat of water 4.184 or 4.186? I’ve googled it and both answer come up…</p>

<p>@Frizzle, a galvanic cell consists of an anode, cathode, and a flow of electrons… used to make batteries. your book should have a diagram.</p>

<p>-x is usually on the left. Products formed, reactant consumed.</p>

<p>it is usually but when do u know if it is on the right side?</p>

<p>chicken - usually when you have a weak acid /base ionization. If ka/b is less than 10^-5 you can assume an insignificant amount of acid/base ionizes.</p>

<p>@frizzle - galvanic’s for when E is positive (spontaneous). if E’s negative it’s electrochemical cell.</p>

<p>sorry read that wrong. if the process is forward it would be in the reactants, reverse it would be in the products</p>

<p>How often do Quantum Numbers appear?</p>
