Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indium and cadmium. In(s)|

Oxidation half equation;

3Cd(s) > 3Cd^2+(aq) + 6e

Reduction half equation;

2In^3+(aq) + 6e > 2In(s)

Explanation:

Since the reduction potentials of Indium and Cadmium are -0.34 V and - 0.40 V respectively, we can see that cadmium will be oxidized while indium will the reduced.

We arrived at this conclusion by examining the reduction potential of both species. The specie with more negative reduction potential is oxidized in the process.

Oxidation half equation;

3Cd(s) > 3Cd^2+(aq) + 6e

Reduction half equation;

2In^3+(aq) + 6e > 2In(s)
