Draw an electrochemical chemical cell containing the metals calcium (Ca, Ca+2) and platinum (Pt,Pt+2) with potassium nitrate (KNO3 : potassium and nitrate ions dissociated) in the salt bridge. Use your reduction potential chart to determine which metal gets oxidized and which one gets reduced. Assume the solutions in each half cell are nitrates of the metals. Label the following:

a. Cathode and anode (1 point)
b. Direction of current flow (1 point)
c. Positive pole and negative pole (1 point)
d. Direction of nitrate ion flow through the salt bridge (1 point)
e. Direction of potassium ion flow in the salt bridge (1 point)
f. Which electrode gains and which loses mass (1 point)
g. The theoretical voltage reading on the voltmeter in the system (2 pts)
