Chapter 18, Problem 102AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Considering the given oxidation- reduction reaction, what will the electrode found in the cathode portion of the cell made of should be chosen from the multiple answers and should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Galvanic cells have two electrodes; Anode where the oxidation takes place and the cathode where the reduction takes place. These electrodes can be made of any conductive material like metals, semiconductors, graphite etc. usually we use the solid metal of the corresponding electrolyte solution.
