Question

Describe in shorthand notation a galvanic cell for which the cell reaction is
Cu(s) + 2Fe3+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + 2Fe2+(aq

Answer 1

Answer:

Cu(s) | Cu2+(aq) || Fe3+(aq) | Fe2+(aq)

Explanation:

Cu(s) → Cu²⁺ (aq)  +  2e⁻  (Anode)

Oxidation reaction

2e⁻  +  2Fe3+(aq) → 2Fe2+(aq)   (Cathode)

Reduction reaction
