A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(
s) and Ag
+(
aq), and one half-cell that contains Cu(
s) and Cu
2+(
aq). What species are produced at the electrodes under standard conditions?
Ag+(aq) + e- → Ag(s) | E° = +0.80 V |
Cu2+(aq) + 2 e- → Cu(s) | E° = +0.34 V |
◦ Ag(
s) is formed at the cathode, and Cu(
s) is formed at the anode.
◦ Ag(
s) is formed at the cathode, and Cu
2+ (
aq) is formed at the anode.
◦ Cu
2+(
aq) is formed at the cathode, and Cu(
s) is formed at the anode.
◦ Cu(
s) is formed at the cathode, and Ag
+(
aq) is formed at the anode.
