Example 17.3 Using Cell Notation Consider a galvanic cell consisting of 2Cr(s) + 3Cu²+(aq) → 2Cr³+ (aq) + 3Cu(s) Write the oxidation and reduction half-reactions and write the reaction using cell notation. Which reaction occurs at the anode? The cathode? oxidation: 2 Cr(s) reduction: 3 Cu2+ (aq) + 6e- 2 Cr3+(aq) + 6e- 3 Cu(s) The oxidation reaction (Cr (s) → Cr3+) occurs at the anode The reduction reaction (Cu2+ Cu(s)) occurs at the cathode Cell Notation: Cr (s) | Cr3+ (aq) || Cu2+ (aq) | Cu (s)
