Consider the reaction 

2Ag ^+ + Cd \rightarrow 2Ag + Cd ^{2+}

The standard potential for 

\mathrm{Ag^+ \rightarrow\textup{ Ag and }Cd^{2+} \rightarrow Cd}  couples are 0.80 V and -0.40 V respectively Now ,

a) Standard potential E^0 for the cell is 1.20V 

b) Cd electrode is the negative electrode 

Which of the following statement is correct ? 

Option: 1

a


Option: 2

b


Option: 3

 E^0= E_{cathode}^{0}- E_{anode}^{0}

= 0.80 - (-0.04)= 1.20 V

The negative electrode is always the elctrode that has lower value of reduction potential 

\therefore Cd is negative electrode
Therefore,option(3) is correct
