Question


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

2Fe3+(aq) + Ni(s)  2Fe2+(aq) + Ni2+(aq)

The anode reaction is:

    +              +    



The cathode reaction is:

    +              +    



In the external circuit, electrons migrate  the Ni|Ni2+ electrode  the Fe2+|Fe3+ electrode.

In the salt bridge, anions migrate  the Ni|Ni2+ compartment  the Fe2+|Fe3+ compartment.
