Question

Identify the cathode and anode in the cell written below. Cu | Cu 2+ || Cl – | Cl 2 , Pt Write the reduction half reaction and oxidation half reaction of the cell.

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The cathode and anode are separated by a salt bridge. Anode is represented by the first half and cathode by the second one.

ANODE: Cu to Cu²⁺

CATHODE: Cl^- to Cl₂

REDUCTION HALF REACTION: Cl^- + 2e^-→ Cl₂

OXIDATION HALF REACTION: Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e^-
