SOA (Species of Interest at the Anode): OH^-(aq), O2(g)
SRA (Species of Interest at the Cathode): H2(g)
Cathode half-reaction: 2H2(g) + 4OH^-(aq) -> 4H2O(l) + 4e^-
Anode half-reaction: O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 4e^- -> 4OH^-(aq)
Overall (net) cell reaction: 2H2(g) + O2(g) -> 2H2O(l)
Standard cell potential: Calculating the standard cell potential requires the standard reduction potentials for the half-reactions at each electrode. Unfortunately, the input does not provide this data.
Identify the SOA and SRA
Write chemical equations to represent the cathode, the anode, and the overall (net) cell reactions (including the half cell and standard cell potentials)
Draw a diagram labeling the electrodes, polarity of electrodes, electrolytes, direction of electron flow, and direction of ion movement
Pt(s) / H2(g),OH^-(aq) // OH^-(aq), O2(g) / Pt(s)
