Question:

The nonspontaneous redox reaction of bromine and aqueous sodium chloride is an electrolytic process according to the following equation. 

Br2(l) + 2 NaCl(aq) → 2 NaBr(aq) + Cl2(g)

The half-reactions are separated into two compartments. A Pt electrode is placed in 1.00 M NaBr, and a second Pt electrode in 1.00 M NaCl. Indicate each of the following for the electrolytic cell.

(a) Oxidation half-cell reaction

(b) Reduction half-cell reaction

(c) Anode and cathode

(d) Direction of electron flow

(e) Direction of Na+ in the salt bridge.
