Tianyu L.
A galvanic cell is constructed from a $\mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}$ half-cell (anode) and a $\mathrm{Cl}_{2} / \mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ half-cell (cathode). (a) Sketch the cell, indicating the direction of electron and ion flow. (b) Write balanced equations for the electrode and overallcell reactions. (c) Give the shorthand notation for the cell.
