An electrochemical cell consists of a tin electrode in an acidic solution of 1.00 molar Sn2+ connected by a salt
bridge to a second compartment with a silver electrode in an acidic solution of 1.00 molar Ag+.
(a) Write the equation for the halfcell reaction occurring at each electrode. Indicate which halfreaction
occurs at the anode.
