And Baker Two, the half cell two contains the reduction reaction in which some other metal, metal y, is reduced. So let's see what the overall net reduction reaction is. Well, our x metal releases an electron and also releases an x plus ion to our solution, increases the concentration of the x plus ion in Baker One. This electron then travels via the conductor into this second electrode, a different metal. Now, inside this electrode, this electron reacts with this y plus ion that is taken up into the electrode and they react to form our Y solid. Now, notice one type of reaction occurred that deals with X in this beaker.
