I have 2 questions:
1) What is the cathode in the following reaction?
PbO2 (s) + Pb(s) + 2H2SO4 (aq)--> 2PbSO4 (s) + 2H2O (l)
please include the steps for determining the oxidation state. Thanks!
2) when we want to determine how many electrons are involved in production of Gold as given by AU2+ + 3e -> AU , how do I know that its 3e and not 2? Would I have to memorize that the half-rxn?
