A standard galvanic cell is constructed with H + | H 2 and Sn 2+ | Sn half cell

Question

A standard galvanic cell is constructed with H+ | H2 and Sn2+ | Sn half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct?

Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials.

(Choose all that apply.)

.Sn is oxidized at the anode.

.In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Sn2+|Sn compartment to the H+|H2 compartment.

.H2 is oxidized at the anode.

.The cathode compartment is the H+|H2 compartment.

.As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Sn2+|Sn compartment to the H+|H2 compartment.

Explanation / Answer

Sn is oxidized at anode.

In external circuit, electron flow from the Sn2+/Sn compartment to H+/H2 compartment.

The cathode compartment is the H+ /H2 compartment
