The question is missing. Here is the complete question.
Which balanced redox reaction is ocurring in the voltaic cell represented by the notation of ?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Answer: (d)
Explanation: <u>Redox</u> <u>Reaction</u> is an oxidation-reduction reaction that happens in the reagents. In this type of reaction, reagent changes its oxidation state: when it loses an electron, oxidation state increases, so it is oxidized; when receives an electron, oxidation state decreases, then it is reduced.
Redox reactions can be represented in shorthand form called <u>cell</u> <u>notation,</u> formed by: <em><u>left side</u></em> of the salt bridge (||), which is always the <em><u>anode</u></em>, i.e., its half-equation is as an <em><u>oxidation</u></em> and <em><u>right side</u></em>, which is always <em><u>the cathode</u></em>, i.e., its half-equation is always a <em><u>reduction</u></em>.
For the cell notation:
Aluminum's half-equation is oxidation:
For Lead, half-equation is reduction:
Multiply first half-equation for 2 and second half-equation by 3:
Adding them:
The balanced redox reaction with cell notation is
