The diagram below represents a voltaic cell. In this cell, the electron flow is from ________ Cd(s)|Cd²⁺(aq)||Fe²⁺(aq),Fe³⁺(aq)|Pt(s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a voltaic cell, electrons flow from the anode (where oxidation occurs) to the cathode (where reduction occurs). Cadmium (Cd) would act as the anode, oxidizing from Cd to Cd^2+, and iron (Fe^2+/Fe^3+) would act as the cathode, where reduction occurs. Therefore, electrons flow from Cd to Fe.
