A voltaic cell SIMILAR to that shown in Figure 20.5 is constructed. One electrode compartment consists of a silver strip placed in a solution of AgNO3, and the other has a iron strip placed in a solution of FeNO3, The overall cell reaction is given below.
(Ered Fe 2 is -0.440)
2 Ag (aq) Fe(s) 2 Ag(s) Fe2 (aq)
(a) Write the half-reactions that occur in the two electrode compartments. (Type your answer using the format [Ag] for Ag and Ag for Ag. Also, the first box gets the coefficient)
(aq) e- (s)
(s) (aq) e-
(b) Which electrode is the anode, and which is the cathode.
