. Note the half-reaction on the oxidation side. As the electron is taken away through the electric circuit, what is left? Which component of the salt bridge (the cation, Na+ , or the anion, Cl- ) will migrate towards this side to balance the charges? ______________________ As shown on the figure, the electrode where oxidation is taking place is called the ________________. b. Now note the half-reaction on the reduction side. As the electron arrives from the electric
the Voltaic cell is where the two components of a spontaneous
are separated by an electric circuit. The electrons being transferred travel through the electric circuit,
and their kinetic energy can thus be utilized by devices such as a light.
a. Note the half-reaction on the oxidation side. As the electron is taken away through the electric
circuit, what is left? Which component of the salt bridge (the cation, Na+
, or the anion, Cl-
) will
migrate towards this side to balance the charges? ______________________
As shown on the figure, the electrode where oxidation is taking place is called the
________________.
b. Now note the half-reaction on the reduction side. As the electron arrives from the electric
circuit, what does it consume? Which component of the salt bridge (the cation, Na+
, or the
anion, Cl-
) will migrate towards this side to balance the charges? ______________________
As shown on the figure, the electrode where reduction is taking place is called the
________________.
c. What is the direction of the electron flow through the external electric circuit?
The electrons flow from the __________________________ to the
