An electrochemical cell consists of two half-cells connected by a salt bridge. One half-cell contains an iron electrode in 1.0 mol/L iron(II) nitrate solution. The other half-cell contains a silver electrode in 1.0 mol/L silver nitrate solution. The salt bridge contains sodium sulfate. a) Write the shorthand representation for the electrochemical cell. b) Sketch the electrochemical cell. Mark the anode, the cathode, and the charge of each electrode. Indicate the direction of electron and ion movement. c) Write the half-reactions that occur at the anode and the cathode. d) Write the overall reaction. e) Calculate the cell potential.
