A voltaic electrochemical cell is constructed in which the anode is a Hg²+| Hg half cell and the cathode is a Br,| Br half cell. The half-cell compartments are connected by a salt bridge. Write the anode reaction. Write the cathode reaction. Write the net cell reaction. In the external circuit, electrons migrate v the Br2 Br" electrode v the Hg²+| Hg electrode. In the salt bridge, anions migrate the Hg**| Hg compartment the Br2 Br" compartment.
