Question

The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell is the site of the reduction reaction. Type the half-cell reaction that takes place at the anode for the iron-silver voltaic cell. Indicate the physical states of atoms and ions using the abbreviation (s), (l), or (g) for solid, liquid, or gas, respectively. Use (aq) for an aqueous solution. Do not include phases for electrons.

Co(s)-> Co^3+ (aq) +3e^- was incorrect

Explanation / Answer

iron-silver voltaic cell.:

half - cell reaction that takes place at anode :

Fe (s)   -----------> Fe+2 (aq) +   2e-

half - cell reaction that takes place at cathode :

Ag+ (aq) +    e-    --------------> Ag (s)
