| does anyone understand this ap chem problem?
the problem gives you a diagram of two electrodes immersed in a beaker with a wore connecting the electrodes (hopefully you can picture this).
then it gives you two reduction half reactions with E values for them.
the question asks, "on the diagram, indicate the direction of electron flow in the wire."
how would you decide which directions the electrons flow? i thought they went from the anode to cathode, but it doesnt in this problem, the answer says it goes from right to left, and that is the cathose to anode. please help thanks |
