A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag⁺(aq) ,and one half-cell that contains Cu(s) and Cu²⁺(aq) .What species are produced at the electrodes under standard conditions?
Ag⁺(aq) + e^- → Ag(s) E° = +0.80 V
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e^- → Cu(s) E° = +0.34 V

The cathode is where reduction occurs, and the anode is where oxidation occurs. The given reactions show Ag+ being reduced to Ag(s) and Cu2+ being reduced to Cu(s), with their respective standard electrode potentials. Since Ag+ has a higher potential (+0.80 V) than Cu2+ (+0.34 V), Ag+ will be reduced at the cathode, forming Ag(s). Consequently, Cu(s) will oxidize to Cu2+ at the anode, completing the cell.
