Write the half-reaction that would occur under each of the comparements on the diagram. Indicate what the salts dissolved in each half-cell compartment should be and label the anode and the cathode.
Science behind corrosion-test
Corrosion is defined as an activity that transforms refined metals into more chemically stable forms such as oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, or sulfide. It refers to the slow decomposition of things (typically metals); thanks to chemical and/or electrochemical reactions with their surroundings. Corrosion engineering is the science of preventing and controlling corrosion.

Use the attached picture to help answer the question.
The image shows a galvanic cell with Ag as one electrode and Sn as the other electrode. The cell imploys the following reaction: Sn2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s) ---> Sn(s) + 2 Ag+(aq)
Write the half-reaction that would occur under each of the comparements on the diagram. Indicate what the salts dissolved in each half-cell compartment should be and label the anode and the cathode.
