Ans. In the electrochemical cell notation-
I. The right side of the salt bridge (double lines) represent the reduction half-reaction. As shown, F2 (oxidation number of F in F2 = 0 , homoatomic molecule) is REDUCED into F- (Oxidation number of F in F- = -1).
Therefore, F2 is getting reduced into F-.
So, correct option is – F2(g)
