Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The voltaic cell for the reaction $\text{Fe}\left(s\right)+{\text{Sn}}^{+}\left(aq\right)\to \text{Sn}\left(s\right)+{\text{Fe}}^{2+}\left(aq\right)$ is to be drawn and illustrated. The direction of electron flow and the anion is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A voltaic cell is defined as the cell in which electrical energy is produced by using chemical energy from a spontaneous redox reaction. It is also known as a galvanic cell. The oxidation reaction occurs at anode whereas reduction reactions occur at the cathode.
