For the reaction given below, identify the anode and describe what happens to the electrode as the reaction continues.
3Fe(s) + Cr2O72-(aq) + 14 H+(aq) 3Fe2+(aq) + 2 Cr+3(aq) + 7H2O(l)
A) Fe, converted to Fe2+; electrode decreases in size
B) Fe, converted to Fe2+; electrode gains mass
C) Passive electrode at which Cr2O72-(aq) is oxidized; electrode is unchanged
D) Fe electrode at which Cr+3 is oxidized; electrode is unchanged
E) Fe electrode; no change
