A galvanic cell was set up from a Cl₂/Cl^- half-cell and a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). It was found that the voltmeter reading was 1.36 V and the chlorine half-cell was the positively-charged electrode. Which statement about this galvanic cell is INCORRECT?

Both of the electrodes should be made of platinum.

The chlorine half-cell is the anode.

As the cell operates, the pH of the solution in the SHE decreases.

The standard redox potential for the chlorine half-cell must be +1.36 V.

The net cell reaction in a particular galvanic cell is:
Cu²⁺(aq) + Sn²⁺(aq) → Cu(s) + Sn⁴⁺(aq)
In this cell, we would expect to observe:

crystals of copper forming on the anode.

the cathode corroding away.

the solution in the copper half-cell becoming lighter in colour.

the voltmeter needle showing that the copper electrode has negative polarity.

A galvanic cell was set up as shown.
The standard redox potentials for these half-cells are:
Ag⁺(aq) + e^- → Ag(s); E⁰ = 0.89 V
Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e^- → Ni(s); E⁰ = -0.23 V
In this cell:

the silver electrode has positive polarity and the nickel electrode will corrode.

the silver electrode has positive polarity and the silver electrode will corrode.

the silver electrode has negative polarity and the nickel electrode will corrode.

the silver electrode has negative polarity and the silver electrode will corrode.

In the ethanol fuel cell, ethanol is pumped in at one electrode and oxygen is pumped in at the other. The only products of the cell reaction are the same as those that would be produced if ethanol was burnt directly in excess air. What is the correct equation for the reaction at the anode, if an acidic electrolyte is used?

O₂(g) + 4H⁺(aq) + 4e^-→ 2H₂O(l)

O₂(g)+ 2H⁺(aq) + 2e^- → 2H₂O₂(aq)

C₂H₅OH(aq) + 3H₂O(l) → 2CO₂(g) + 12H⁺(aq) + 12e^-

C₂H₅OH(aq) + 3H₂O(l) → 2CO₂(g) + 11H⁺(aq) + 11e^-
