You have two beakers. One beaker contains 1 M Hg²* and 1 M Hg22*. The second beaker contains 1 M Fe2* and 1 M Fe*. All metals are present as their soluble nitrate salts. Design and draw a galvanic cell using these solutions (if you need other materials to complete the cell, you may add them in – state what they are needed for). Show the direction the electrons move (and where they move) and label the cathode and anode. Give the net ionic equation for the spontaneous reaction taking place in this galvanic cell. What would E°sell be?
