The correct statement/s about a Galvanic cell is/are:
$(a)$ Current flows from cathode to anode
$(b)$ Anode is the positive terminal
$(c)$ If $E_{cell} < 0$,then it is a spontaneous reaction
$(d)$ Cathode is the positive terminal

The $emf$ of the cell reaction is $1.1 \ V$. Calculate the free energy change for the reaction in $kJ$:
$Zn_{(s)} + Cu^{+2}_{(aq)} \longrightarrow Zn^{+2}_{(aq)} + Cu_{(s)}$

An electrochemical cell is constructed using half-cells in the direction of spontaneous change: $Fe(OH)_{2}(s) + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Fe(s) + 2OH^{-}(aq)$ $(E^{0} = -0.88 \text{ V})$ and $AgBr(s) + e^{-} \rightarrow Ag(s) + Br^{-}(aq)$ $(E^{0} = +0.07 \text{ V})$.
