Question

Attempt 4 A galvanic cell has an X electrode with X 2 plus ions in the left beaker and a Y electrode with Y 2 plus ions in the right beaker. A salt bridge connects the two halves.A galvanic (voltaic) cell has the generic metals X and Y as electrodes. X is more reactive than Y, that is, X more readily reacts to form a cation than Y does. Classify the descriptions by whether they apply to the X or Y electrode.

Answer 1

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Since X is more reactive than Y

=> X is oxidized to X2+ and Y2+ is reduced to Y

Overall cell reaction is:

X(s) + Y2+(aq) => X2+(aq) + Y(s)
