Question

A voltaic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag⁺(aq), and one half-cell that contains Sn(s) and Sn²⁺(aq). What species are produced at each of the electrodes under standard conditions?

Ag⁺(aq) + e^- → Ag(s) E° = +0.80 V
Sn²⁺(aq) + 2 e^- → Sn(s) E° = -0.14 V

Sn²⁺(aq) is formed at the cathode, and Ag(s) is formed at the anode.

Ag(aq) is formed at the cathode, and Sn(s) is formed at the anode.

Ag(s) is formed at the cathode, and Sn²⁺(aq) is formed at the anode.

Sn(s) is formed at the cathode, and Ag⁺(aq) is formed at the anode.
