Cell Voltage - Questions

The Cell Voltage Concept Builder is comprised of 24 questions organized into 12 Question Groups and spread across three difficulty levels. Each question requires the same task - using a Reduction Potential Table to analyze a galvanic cell and determine the cell voltage. There is little variation in difficulty between the difficulty levels. They should be thought of as additional examples to practice with.

Here is the breakdown of the difficulty levels:

• Apprentice Difficulty Level: Question Groups 1-4 ... Students are given contents of each half-cell and must use a table of standard reduction potentials to determine the reduction and oxidation half equations and their potential and the overal cell voltage.
• Master Difficulty Level: Question Groups 5-8 ... Students are given contents of each half-cell and must use a table of standard reduction potentials to determine the reduction and oxidation half equations and their potential and the overal cell voltage.
• Wizard Difficulty Level: Question Groups 9-12 ... Students are given contents of each half-cell and must use a table of standard reduction potentials to determine the reduction and oxidation half equations and their potential and the overal cell voltage.

The questions from each group are shown below. Teachers are encouraged to view the questions in order to judge how many difficulty levels are most appropriate for their classes. Alternatively, teachers can do the Concept Builder to gain a feel for the student experience.. 

The Physics Classroom grants teachers and other users the right to print these questions for private use. Users are also granted the right to copy the text and modify it for their own use. However, this document should not be uploaded to other servers for distribution to and/or display by others. The Physics Classroom website should remain the only website or server from which the document is distributed or displayed. We also provide a PDF that teachers can use under the same conditions.
