Question

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that 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(s) is formed at the cathode, and Cu2+(aq) is formed at the anode.
B.
Ag(aq) is formed at the cathode and, Cu(s) is formed at the anode.
C.
Cu(s) is formed at the cathode, and Ag+(aq) is formed at the anode.
D.
Cu2+(aq) is formed at the cathode, and Cu(s) is formed at the anode.
