To my understanding in an electrolytic process the agent with the highest standard reduction potential will become the cathode. There's a problem I'm working on where the anode reaction is presented as 2Cl-(aq)Cl2(g)+2e and the cathode reaction is presented as 2H2O(l)+2e-H2(g)+2OH-(aq). The standard cell potential for H2O/H2 is -0.83V whereas it's 1.36V for Cl2/Cl-. Shouldn't the two be swapped?
