Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indium and cadmium: In(s)|In (aq)||Cd?*(aq)|Cd(s) anode: 2In(s) → 2ln**(aq) +6e° cathode: 3Cd"?(aq) + 6e → 3Ca(s) net cell reaction: 6In(s) + 6Cd*(aq) → 6ln**(aq) + 6Cd(s) Incorrect. To determine the net cell reaction, start by multiplying one or both of the half-reactions by a small integer (such as 2 or 3) to balance the electrons. Then, sum the two half-reactions.
