Question
A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Co2+|Co and Fe2+|Fe half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct?Choose all that apply.The cathode compartment is the Co2+|Co compartment.
The cathode compartment is the Fe2+|Fe compartment.
In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Co2+|Co compartment to the Fe2+|Fe compartment.
Fe2+ is reduced at the cathode.
As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Co2+|Co compartment to the Fe2+|Fe compartment.
Explanation / Answer
In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Co2+|Co compartment to the Fe2+|Fe compartment. The cathode compartment is the Co2+|Co compartment.
