Question

Enter electrons as e. A voltaic cell is constructed in which the anode is a CriCr+half cell and the cathode is a FelFe2t half cell. The half-cell compartments are connected by a salt bridge. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank.) The anode reaction is: The cathode reaction is: The net cell reaction is: In the external circuit, electrons migratethe Cr/Cr3 electrodethe Fe[Fe3+ electrode In the salt bridge, anions migrate the CriCr+ compartmentthe Fe|Fe2+ compartment.

Explanation / Answer

The anode reaction :

Cr (s) ------------> Cr3+ (aq.) + 3 e-

The cathode reaction :

Fe2+ (aq.) + 2 e- ------------> Fe (s)

The net cell reaction :

2 Cr (s) + 3 Fe2+ (aq.) -----------> 2 Cr3+ (aq.) + 3 Fe (s)

In the external circuit electrons migrate from the Cr/Cr3+ electrode to the Fe/Fe2+ electrode.

In the salt bridge, anions migrate to the Cr/Cr3+ compartment from the Fe/Fe2+
