Answer:
Explanation:
The half-cell reduction potentials are
Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⇌ Ag(s) E° = 0.7996 V
Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Fe(s) E° = -0.447 V
To create a spontaneous voltaic cell, we reverse the half-reaction with the more negative half-cell potential.
The anode is the electrode at which oxidation occurs.
The equation for the oxidation half-reaction is
