Draw the diagram of a galvanic cell and indicate the direction of flow of electrons and current for the cell constructed using $Al|Al^{3+}$ and $Ag^{+}|Ag$ half-cells,given $E^o_{Al^{3+}|Al} = -1.66 \ V$ and $E^o_{Ag^{+}|Ag} = 0.80 \ V$.

(N/A) $1$. Identify the anode and cathode based on standard reduction potentials: $E^o_{Al^{3+}|Al} = -1.66 \ V$ (Anode) and $E^o_{Ag^{+}|Ag} = 0.80 \ V$ (Cathode).
$2$. The cell reaction is: $Al(s) + 3Ag^+(aq) \rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq) + 3Ag(s)$.
$3$. In a galvanic cell,electrons flow from the anode ($Al$ electrode) to the cathode ($Ag$ electrode) through the external circuit.
$4$. The conventional current flows in the opposite direction,i.e.,from the cathode ($Ag$ electrode) to the anode ($Al$ electrode).
$5$. Diagram description: An $Al$ electrode is placed in an $Al(NO_3)_3$ solution and an $Ag$ electrode is placed in an $AgNO_3$ solution,connected by a salt bridge and an external wire with a voltmeter.

Give the anodic,cathodic,and overall reactions of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell.

The standard free energy change $($ in $J)$ for the reaction $3 Fe^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2 Cr_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons 2 Cr^{3+}_{(aq)} + 3 Fe_{(s)}$ given $E_{Fe^{2+}/Fe}^{\circ} = -0.44 \, V$ and $E_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}^{\circ} = -0.74 \, V$ is $(F = 96500 \, C)$.

The following limiting molar conductivities are given as:
$\lambda_{m(H_{2}SO_{4})}^{0} = x \ S \ cm^{2} mol^{-1}$
$\lambda_{m(K_{2}SO_{4})}^{0} = y \ S \ cm^{2} mol^{-1}$
