Using the image of the galvanic cell below, what is the reaction that occurs at (a) the anode and (b) the cathode? http://media.apexlearning.com/Images/201306/03/2464a1d2-8498-42bd-b362-06b4d13cc051.jpg

@ganeshie8 help! i'm pretty sure Anode: 2Cl−(aq) → Cl2(g) + 2e− Cathode: K+(aq) + e− → K(s) is the answer

I can't view your link. Sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your half cell reaction at the cathode needs to contain the same number of electrons gained as lost in the oxidation, so double everything. Without being able to see your diagram, that's all I can say...
