Question

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that 23) contains Cu(s) and Cu2+(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

A) Ag(aq) is formed at the cathode and, Cu(s) is formed at the anode.

B) Ag(s) is formed at the cathode, and Cu2+(aq) is formed at the anode.

C) Cu2+(aq) is formed at the cathode, and Cu(s) is formed at the anode.

D) Cu(s) is formed at the cathode, and Ag+(aq) is formed at the anode.

Explanation / Answer

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that 23) contains Cu(s) and Cu2+(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

B) Ag(s) is formed at the cathode, and Cu2+(aq) is formed at the anode.
