A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Mn2+ | Mn and Zn2+ | Zn half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct? Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials. (Choose all that apply.) -In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Zn2+|Zn compartment to the Mn2+|Mn compartment. -The cathode compartment is the Zn2+|Zn compartment. -The anode compartment is the Zn2+|Zn compartment. -As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Zn2+|Zn compartment to the Mn2+|Mn compartment. -Zn2+ is reduced at the cathode.
