A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Cd²+ | Cd and Ni²* | Ni 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.) O cd is oxidized at the anode. The anode compartment is the Cd²"|Cd compartment. The anode compartment is the Ni²*|Ni compartment. In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Ni²*|Ni compartment to the Cd²*|Cd compartment. As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Ni²*|Ni compartment to the Cd²*|Cd compartment.
