An aqueous CdI₂ solution is electrolyzed under 1 bar pressure using platinum electrodes. (a) Write the half-reactions predicted to occur at the anode and cathode, based on the standard cell potentials given below. Standard Reduction Potentials (Volts) at 25 °C I2 +2e →21 O₂ + 4 H3O+ + 4 e→→ 6 H₂0 2 H₂O + 2 e H₂ + 2 OH™ Cd2+ + 2e →→Cd 0.535 Reactants 1.229 -0.828 -0.403 Enter electrons as e. Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. Half-reaction at anode: Products K
