A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Pb2+ | Pb and Cu²+ | Cu* half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct? Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials. (Choose all that apply.) Cu2+ is reduced at the cathode. The cathode compartment is the Cu2+ | Cu+ compartment. As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Pb2+ | Pb compartment to the Cu2+ | Cu+ compartment. The cathode compartment is the Pb2+ | Pb compartment. In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Pb2+ | Pb compartment to the Cu2+ | Cu+ compartment. A standard galvanic cell is constructed in which a H* | H₂ half cell acts as the cathode. Which of the following statements are correct? Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials. (Choose all that apply.) In the external circuit, electrons flow from the H*|H₂ compartment to the other compartment. The anode compartment could be Ag*|Ag. H2 is oxidized at the cathode. The cathode reaction is 2H+ + 2e--> H2. As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the H*|H₂ compartment to the other compartment.
