Question

Please say which is the anode (oxidation) and which is the cathode (reduction)

2H+ + 2e- ➖> H2 (g)

2I- ➖> I2 + 2e-

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1st one will be cathodic reaction and reduction will occur since electrons are being gained and hydrogen goes from +1 to zero oxidation state.

2nd one will be anodix reaction and oxidation will take place because Iodide ion's oxidation number increases from -1 to 0
