please choose the correct answer from a,b,c,d and explain it if possible? 1. How will you know whether a given unknown metal acts as a cathode or anode in the cells you construct? Select one: a. By comparing its theoretical half-cell potential to that of the known to which its attached. The metal with the higher potential will act as the cathode. b. The bottle we get the metal from will indicate whether it acts as a cathode or anode. c. Our voltmeter will display the word “cathode” or “anode” depending on which the metal acts as. d. Connect the unknown to our meter one way, then the other and see which orientation gives a valid volt reading. If it’s connected to the red lead when it does, it acts the cathode.
