The nonspontaneous redox reaction of chlorine gas and aqueous sodium fluoride is an electrolytic process according to

Question:

The nonspontaneous redox reaction of chlorine gas and aqueous sodium fluoride is an electrolytic process according to the following equation. 

Cl2(g) + 2 NaF(aq) → 2 NaCl(aq) + F2(g) 

The half-reactions are separated into two compartments. A Pt electrode is placed in 1.00 M NaCl, and a second Pt electrode in 1.00 M NaF. Indicate each of the following for the electrolytic cell.

(a) Oxidation half-cell reaction

(b) Reduction half-cell reaction

(c) Anode and cathode

(d) Direction of electron flow

(e) Direction of Na+ in the salt bridge.
