Write chemical equations to represent the cathode, anode, and net cell reactions.
1) Cd | Cd(NO3)2 || Ag(NO3)2 | Ag
Reduction at Cathode: Cd2+ + 2e- ---> Cd
Oxidation at Anode: [Ag ---> Ag+ + e-] x2
Cd2+ + 2Ag ---> Cd + 2Ag2+
2) Pt | IO3-,H+ || Zn2+ | Zn
Reduction at Cathode: 2IO3- + 12H+ + 10e- ---> I2 + 6H2O
Oxidation at Anode: [Zn ---> Zn2+ + 2e-] x 5
2IO3- + 12H+ + Zn ---> I2 + 6H2O + Zn2+
