Explanation The given picture of voltaic cell is shown as: In voltaic cell, the electrode that is on the left is the anode and the electrode that is on the right of the cell is the cathode and the electrons flow from left to right (from anode to cathode). In this case, tin (Sn) electrode is on the left, so it should be anode whereas silver (Ag) electrode is on the right, so it should be cathode. However, electrode potential for S n / S n 2 + is more negative ( − 0
