Galvanic Cells prac: Issues (2 Viewers)

[vds700]

Has anybody done the prac called "Galvanic Cells 1" where you use copper and zinc electrodes connected to a voltmeter, placed in a beaker of solutions of:
- Deionized Water
-1 mole/L NaCl
-1 mole/L Sulfuric acid

You have to measure the voltage produced by the redox reactions and when we did it, we were given wrong electrodes (graphite instead of zinc), so we were unable to get some decent results.

If someone's done this prac successfully, could they plz post their results

lol we didn't do this one but i remember our galvanic cells prac very well. Me being as unco-ordinated as ever manages to spill CuS04 sol'n all over the desk and my friend was trying not to get it on his uniform and then i cleaned it up and said "ok next one" and my friend said, let's just pack it up.

Funny times in chem!
