In this Zn|Zn²⁺ || Cu²⁺|Cu galvanic cell, which electrode is the anode?
- A
Cu (oxidation occurs)
- Bcheck_circle
Zn (oxidation occurs)
- C
Cu (reduction occurs)
- D
Zn (reduction occurs)
Explanation
Zn is more easily oxidized than Cu; Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ at the anode, while Cu²⁺ is reduced at the cathode.
