question 76

Multiple Choice

Exhibit 18-1 Consider the figure of a generic voltaic cell below to answer the following question(s) .
-Refer to Exhibit 18-1. If component A is the positive electrode and component E is the negative electrode, which statement is true?

• A) Electrons are flowing from left to right (A→ E) in this figure. Electrode E is "swelling" as metal ions plate onto its surface.
• B) Electrons are flowing from left to right (A→ E) in this figure. Electrode E is corroding as metal atoms dissolve into solution D.
• C) Electrons are flowing from right to left (E→ A) in this figure. Electrode E is "swelling" as metal ions plate onto its surface.
• D) Electrons are flowing from right to left (E→ A) in this figure. Electrode E is corroding as metal atoms dissolve into solution D.
• E) Electrons are not flowing in this voltaic cell unless it is provided by an outside source.
