Question

A voltaic cell was constructed based on the two reactions shown below:

Reduction half reaction:   Cl2(aq) + 2 e- ⟶ Cl-                                Eoreduction = 1.36 V

Oxidation half reaction: Al(s) ⟶ Al3+(aq) + 3e-                                     Eooxidation = 1.66 V

  1. Balance the oxidation half reaction (OHR)
  2. Balance the reduction half reaction (RHR)
  3. Write the overall reaction.
