A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Cu²⁺ | Cu and I₂ | I^- half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct?

Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials.

(Choose all that apply.)

I₂ is reduced at the cathode.

I^- is oxidized at the anode.

The anode compartment is the Cu²⁺|Cu compartment.

In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Cu²⁺|Cu compartment to the I₂|I^- compartment.

As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Cu²⁺|Cu compartment to the I₂|I^- compartment.
