An aqueous Celg 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 1,(s) + 2e-21(aq) 0.535 0,(9) + 4 H30'(aq) + 4 e - 6H2O(1) 1.229 2 H2O(1) + 2 e -H (9) + 2 OH (aq) -0.828 Cel(aq) + 3 e- Ce(s) -2.335 Half-reaction at anode: - + Half-reaction at cathode: (b) What is the expected decomposition potential?
