Answer:
Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.
Explanation:
The substance having highest positive reduction potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.
Reduction : cathode
..[1]
Oxidation: anode
..[2]
Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.
To calculate the of the reaction, we use the equation:
The overall reaction will be:
2 × [1] + 3 × [2] :
Electrons on both sides will get cancelled :
Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.
