Why do we reverse the the anode half reaction for part a of 6l.3?

We need to reverse the reaction in order to get an oxidation half reaction. When you look at the half reactions in the appendix, the reactions are given as reduction reactions. Therefore, whichever half reaction takes place in the anode must be flipped.

Hope that helps!

You would flip the half reaction from appendix 2B (flip products and reactants) and flip the sign as well
