A student measures the potential of a cell made up with 1 M CuSO4, in one solution and 1 M AgNO3, in the other. There is a copper electrode in the CuSO4, solution and a sliver electrode in the AgNO3, solution. The student finds that the potential of the cell, Eocell,  is 0.47 V and that the copper electrode is negative. 1. At which electrode is oxidation occuring 2. Write the half-reaction taking place at the anode: 3. Write the half-reaction taking place at the cathode: 4.  What is Eoanode,given that the potential of the silver, silver ion electrode, EoAg+,Ag, is taken to be 0.00V?
