Consider a cell given below: Cu | Cu^(...

Consider a cell given below:
`Cu | Cu^(2+) || Cl^(-) | Cl_(2),Pt`
Write the reactions that occur at anode and cathode.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`{:("Anode", Cu to Cu^(2+) + 2e^(-)),("Cathode", Cl_(2) + 2e^(-) to 2Cl^(-)):}`
Cu acts as anode as it is getting oxidised. `Cl_(2)` , acts as cathode as it is getting reduced.
