A standard galvanic cell is constructed in which a Cu²* | Cu half cell acts as the cathode. Which of the following statements are correct? Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials. (Choose all that apply.) Mn²*|Mn could be the other standard half cell. The anode reaction could be Mn -> Mn²* + 2e" The cathode reaction is Cu -> Cu²* + 2e" In the external circuit, electrons flow from the other compartment to the Cu²*|Cu compartment. Br2|Br" could be the other standard half cell.
