A chemist designs a galvanic cell that uses these two half-reactions: half-reaction standard reduction potential
Cl₂(g) + 2e⁻ → 2Cl⁻(aq) = E⁰red + 1.359V
O₂(g) + 4H⁺(aq) + 4e⁻ → 2H₂O(l) = E⁰red + 1.23V
Answer the following questions about this cell.
Write a balanced equation for the half-reaction that happens at the cathode ___________.
Write a balanced equation for the half-reaction that happens at the anode ___________.
Write a balanced equation for the overall reaction that powers the cell ___________.
Be sure the reaction is spontaneous as written.
