In the given cell notation "Mg|Mg^2+||Al^3+|Al", the left side represents the anode and the right side represents the cathode.
Sketch of the galvanic cell:
Anode (left side): Mg(s) | Mg^2+ (aq) || Cathode (right side): Al^3+ (aq) | Al (s)
Direction of electron flow: From the Mg anode to the Al cathode.
Cathode: Al (s) - Reduction occurs at the Al cathode.
Anode: Mg (s) - Oxidation occurs at the Mg anode.
Consider the line notation of a galvanic cell described below.
Mg|Mg^2+||Al^3+|Al
1. Sketch the galvanic cell based on the above half-reactions and shows the direction of the electrons flow, and identify the cathode and the anode.
