What is the reduction half-reaction?
In the electrolytic cell of this experiment, copper metal is the anode and zinc metal the cathode. The electrolyte solution is sulfuric acid, H2SO4.
Oxidation occurs at the copper anode, where Cu is oxidized to Cu^2+: Cu (s) → Cu^2+ (aq) + 2 e–
During the experiment, you might have noticed that at the end of the trials, the solution becomes slightly blue, which proves the existence of aqueous Cu^2+.

In a copper-zinc voltaic cell, one half-cell consists of a ZnZn electrode inserted in a solution of zinc sulfate and the other half-cell consists of a CuCu electrode inserted in a copper sulfate solution. These two half-cells are separated by a salt bridge. At the zinc electrode (anode), ZnZn metal undergoes oxidation by losing two electrons and enters the solution as Zn2+Zn2+ ions. The oxidation half-cell reaction that takes place at the anode is Zn(s)→Zn2+(aq)+2e−Zn(s)→Zn2+(aq)+2e− The CuCu ions undergo reduction...

13. In an electrolytic cell the electrode at which the electrons enter the solution is called the the chemical change that occurs at this electrode is called (a) Anode, oxidation (b) Anode, reduction (c) Cathode, reduction (d) Cathode, oxidation (e) cannot tell unless we know the species being oxidized and reduced.
The CuCu ions undergo reduction by accepting two electrons from the copper electrode (cathode) and depositing on the electrode as Cu(s)Cu(s). The reduction half-cell reaction that takes place at the cathode is Cu^2+(aq)+2e^−→Cu(s)Cu^2+(aq)+2e^-→Cu(s) The electrons lost by the ZnZn metal are gained by the CuCu ion. The transfer of electrons between ZnZn metal and CuCu ions is made possible by connecting the wire between the ZnZn electrode and the CuCu electrode. Thus, in the voltaic cell, the electrons flow through...
It is expected that a chemical reaction will occur when copper metal is combined with aqueous zinc sulfate. Explain why there will be no reaction when zinc metal and aqueous copper sulfate solution are combined. Identify the anode and the cathode, assuming a voltaic cell is constructed. Note: Be careful in the calculation of the standard cell potential ( Eo cathode - Eo anode). Do not change the sign of the given reduction potential. The sign is already taken care...
