You have the following setup to construct a cell under standard conditions. The anode and cathode are iron and silver rods. Using cell notation, the cell is
Fe(s) |Fe2 + (aq)||Ag + (aq) |Ag(s).
a. Complete the figure of the cell by labeling the anode and cathode and showing the corresponding reactions at the electrodes. Indicate the electron flow in the external circuit, the signs of the electrodes, and the direction of cation migration in the half-cells.
V

b. What is the cell potential, Eocell? Is this a voltaic or an electrolytic cell? How do you know?
