Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electrode labeled F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 is positively charged, and is therefore the cathode. The electrode labeled F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 is negatively charged, and is therefore the anode. Reduction occurs at the cathode, and oxidation occurs at the anode. Therefore, the correct choice is C - cathode; positive; reduction.
