A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag⁺(aq) ,and one half-cell that contains Mn(s) and Mn²⁺(aq) .What species are produced at the electrodes under standard conditions? Ag⁺(aq) + e^- → Ag(s) E° = +0.80 V
Mn²⁺(aq) + 2 e^- → Mn(s) E° = -1.18 V

In a galvanic cell, the cathode is where reduction occurs, and the anode is where oxidation occurs. The given reactions show Ag+ being reduced to Ag(s) with a positive E° value, indicating it acts as the cathode. Mn is oxidized to Mn^2+ with a negative E° value, indicating it acts as the anode. Therefore, Ag(s) is formed at the cathode, and Mn^2+(aq) is formed at the anode.
