A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Mn2+|Mn and Ni2+|Ni half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct? 1. Mn2+ is reduced at the cathode. 2. In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Mn2+|Mn compartment to the Ni2+|Ni compartment. 3. As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Mn2+|Mn compartment to the Ni2+|Ni compartment. 4. The anode compartment is the Ni2+|Ni compartment. 5. The anode compartment is the Mn2+|Mn compartment. (Choose all that apply)
