Halide ions can he deposited at a silver anode, the reaction being Ag(s) + X- AgX(s) +e- Suppose that a cell was formed by immersing a silver anode in an analyte solution that was 0.0250 M Cl-,Br-, and I -ions and connecting the half-cell to a saturated calomel cathode via a salt bridge. (a) Which halide would form first and at what potential? Is the cell galvanic or electrolytic? (b) Could I- and Br- be separated quantitatively?
