Question

A voltaic cell is constructed in which the anode is a Cr²+ | Cr³+ half cell and the cathode is a Fe²+ | Fe³+

half cell. The half-cell compartments are connected by a salt bridge.

(Use the lowest possible coefficients. Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed,

leave it blank.)
