Question

A voltaic cell (also called a galvanic cell) was constructed by connecting two beakers with a salt bridge.  In one beaker, an iron plate was immersed in a 1 M solution of iron(II) nitrate, Fe(NO3)2.  In the other beaker, a lead plate was immersed in a 1 M solution of lead(II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2.  What voltage is generated by this cell under standard conditions at 25 oC?  Note the following standard half-cell reduction potentials:

Fe2+(aq)  +  2e-  ----->  Fe(s)     Eo  =  -0.45 V

Pb2+(aq)  +  2e-  ----->  Pb(s)     Eo  =  -0.13 V

In the voltaic cell described previously, which consists of iron and lead plates, each immersed in a 1 M solution of their respective ions, which beaker contains the anode?
Group of answer choices
The beaker with the lead plate.
The beaker with the iron plate.
