Electrolytic cells/standard electrode potentials
My understanding of determining overall cell potential for an electrolytic cell is that the metal with more negative potential acts as a reducing agent, undergoing oxidation. In the Cl, Mg electrolytic cell diagram, how come Cl is the anode despite having a reduction potential of +1.36V, more than M...
