20. Electrochemistry / Electrolytic Cell / Problem 3

The cell shown in the image below is used to commercially produce Sr, the element, via electrolysis from a molten salt (the "electrolyte"), such as SrCl2. Remember that in an electrolytic cell, which is the opposite of what we see in batteries, the anode is given the - sign and the cathode is given the + sign. What is the half-reaction at the anode of the electrolytic cell?
