The following diagram shows the setup of an electrochemical cell in which the respective half cells contain aqueous 1.0 M solutions of the salts `XCl_(2)` and `YCl_(3)`. Given that
`3X(s)+2Y^(3+)(aq)to3X^(2+)(aq)+2Y(s)E_(cell)Llt0` Which of the following statements is correct?

A

The electrode made from metal X has positive

B

Electrode Y is te anode

C

The flow of electrons is from Y to X

D

lons move randomly in salt bridge here.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Look carefully at the setup. The connecting wire is broken & circuit is incomplete, no reaction occurs.
