Question

Sketch the cell, labeling the anode and cathode and indicating the corresponding
electrode reactions. Show the direction of electron flow in the external circuit and the
direction of cation movement in the half-cells.
a. A voltaic cell consists of a silver–silver ion half-cell and a nickel–nickel (II) ion half-
cell. Silver ion is reduced during operation of the cell.
b. A voltaic cell is constructed from a half-cell in which a cadmium rod dips into a
solution of cadmium nitrate, 4/(!<Q)=, and another half-cell in which a silver rod
dips into a solution of silver nitrate, s'!<Q. The two half-cells are connected by a
salt bridge. Silver ion is reduced during operation of the voltaic cell.
