Q. Consider a galvanic cell with a zinc electrode immersed in 1.0M Zn2+ and a silver electrode immersed in 1.0M Ag+. Which of the electrodes is the anode?

Zn2 + 2e- --> Zn E° = -0.76 V

Ag+ + e- --> Ag E° = 0.80 V

Answer #1

The one with greater Eo value is reduced.
So, that becomes cathode

The one with smaller Eo value is oxidised.
So, that becomes anode.

Eo is smaller for Zn2+ + 2e- -> Zn
So, this is anode

Answer: zinc electrode is anode
