We created a Cu/Zn cell by placing 0.10 M ZnSO4 in to
a porous cup and poured 0.10 M CuSO4 in to a beaker
surrounding the porous cup. We placed a Zn electrode in to the Zn
solution and a copper electrode in the Cu solution.
a) Calculate the expected potential V (our measured potential V was
around 1.09 so it should be around there I believe)
b) The e- flow from which electrode?
c) The e- flow to which electrode?
d) Which substance acts as the cathode?
I've attached a table of standard electrode potentials for
half-reactions that we were provided.

*redox reactions in electeochemical cells* c) Fe/0.1 M FeSO4//0.1 M CuSO4/Cu I soaked a porous cup in tap water for a few minutes and then i let it stand in a 100 ml beaker containing 10ml of 0.1 M FeSO4. I added enough 0.1M CuSO4 to the cup until the two liquid levels were the same height. I inserted a zinc strip into the 0.1 M FeSO4 and a shiny copper strip into the 0.1 M CuSO4. I connected the...
