Question

The cell diagram is given below. What are the half-r'xns involved?

Cu(s) | CuI(s) | I-(aq, 1.0M) || Cu2+(aq,1.0M) | Cu(s)

Answer 1

We go by the convention that LHS is anode, RHS is cathode.

Answer 2

My attempt:

CuI(s) ---> Cu(s) + I-(aq) + 1e-
Cu2+(aq) + 2e- --> Cu(s)

Answer 3

So then, I would just balance these equations...

Answer 4

and then? so what's the trouble? you 're going pretty well so far.

Answer 5

No but is not the first equation (my firsthalf-r'xn) incorrect?
