A galvanic cell has the overall reaction:   2Cu+(aq) + Pb(s) → 2Cu(s) + Pb2+(aq) Which is the half reaction occurring at the cathode? Select one: Cu(s) → Cu+(aq) + e− Pb2+(aq) + e− → Pb+(aq)  Pb(s) → Pb2+(aq) + 2e− Pb2+(aq) + 2e− → Pb(s) Pb(s) + 2e− → Pb2+(aq) Cu(s) + e− → Cu+(aq) Cu+(aq) + e− → Cu(s)

Question
A galvanic cell has the overall reaction:

 

2Cu+(aq) + Pb(s) → 2Cu(s) + Pb2+(aq)

Which is the half reaction occurring at the cathode?

Select one:
Cu(s) → Cu+(aq) + e
Pb2+(aq) + e → Pb+(aq) 
Pb(s) → Pb2+(aq) + 2e
Pb2+(aq) + 2e → Pb(s)
Pb(s) + 2e → Pb2+(aq)
Cu(s) + e → Cu+(aq)

Cu+(aq) + e → Cu(s)
