Question

A voltaic cell is constructed in which the following cell reaction occurs. The half-cell compartments are connected by a salt bridge.

Cl2(g) + Zn(s)  2Cl-(aq) + Zn2+(aq)

The anode reaction is:

    +              +    



The cathode reaction is:

    +              +    



In the external circuit, electrons migrate 

 

 the Cl-|Cl2 electrode 

 

 the Zn|Zn2+ electrode.

In the salt bridge, anions migrate 

 

 the Zn|Zn2+ compartment 

 

 the Cl-|Cl2 compartment.
