A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Zn2+ | Zn and H+ | H2 half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct?   1. The anode compartment is the H+|H2 compartment. In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Zn2+|Zn compartment to the 2. H+|H2 compartment. 3. As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Zn2+|Zn compartment to the H+|H2 compartment. 4. The cathode compartment is the H+|H2 compartment.
