Chemistry

A standard galvanic cell is constructed in which aCd2+ | Cd half cellacts as the cathode. Which of the followingstatements are correct?

Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials.

(Choose all that apply.)

1. The anode compartment could beF2|F-.

2. The anode reaction could be Cr -> Cr3+ +3e-

3. Cd2+ is reduced at the cathode.

4. As the cell runs, anions will migrate from theCd2+|Cd compartment to the other compartment.

5. The cathode reaction is Cd -> Cd2+ +2e-
