To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the half-reactions and identify the anode and cathode The half-reactions for the given electrodes are: - For copper: \( Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu \) (Reduction potential = 0.34 V) - For silver: \( Ag^+ + e^- \rightarrow Ag \) (Reduction potential = 0.80 V) Since the reduction potential of silver is higher than that of copper, silver will act as the cathode and copper will act as the anode. ...
