Post by: Whelan on May 7, 2015
A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that contains Pb(s) and Pb2+(aq). What species are produced at the electrodes under standard conditions?

   Ag+(aq) + e- → Ag(s)   E° = +0.80 V
   Pb2+(aq) + 2 e- → Pb(s)   E° = -0.13 V

A) Ag(aq) is formed at the cathode and, Pb(s) is formed at the anode.
B) Ag(s) is formed at the cathode, and Pb2+(aq) is formed at the anode.
C) Pb(s) is formed at the cathode, and Ag+(aq) is formed at the anode.
D) Pb2+(aq) is formed at the cathode, and Cu(s) is formed at the anode.
