Question

Which is the anode and which is the cathode?

2H+ + 2e- ➖> H2 (g)

2I- ➖> I2 + 2e-

Answer 1

2l- ---> l2 + 2e- is the anode

2H+ + 2e- ---> H2(g) is the cathode

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxidation occurs when a metal loses two or more electrons in a redox chemical reaction and reduction is when it gains. Thus, oxidation is the anode and reduction is the cathode.
