Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true? a. Copper metal can be oxidized by $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$ (at standard conditions). b. In a galvanic cell the oxidizing agent in the cell reaction is present at the anode. c. In a cell using the half reactions $\mathrm{Al}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow$ Al and $\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Mg}$ , aluminum functions as the anode. d. In a concentration cell electrons always flow from the compartment with the lower ion concentration to the compartment with the higher ion concentration. e. In a galvanic cell the negative ions in the salt bridge flow in the same direction as the electrons.
