As zinc has negative reduction potential it act as reducing agent and reduce the copper from +2 State to zero State. Here zinc electrode act as anode and copper electrode act as cathode.

In this lab, we will explore how different voltaic cells work. 1. Prepare a voltaic cell by placing the magnesium electrode and solution on the left, and the zinc electrode and solution on the right. Place the salt bridge between the two solutions. What is the voltage on this battery? 1.62v 2. Use the magnifying glass to look closely at the magnesium electrode and solution. a) What is happening at this electrode? Mg 2+ b) Write a half reaction showing...
5. What was the purpose of the NaNO3 solution in this experiment? 6. Could a solution of NaCl be used instead of NaNO3? 7. What was the purpose of FeSO4 solution in this experiment? 8. Could a solution of FeCl, be used instead of FeSO4? 9. Could a solution of NaSO4 be used instead of FeSO4? 10. Calculate the standard cell potential for the spontaneous redox reaction between a Pb(s)/Pb(NO3)2(aq) half-cell and a Ag(s)/AgNO3(aq) half-cell. Which metal would be oxidized?...
some questions are filled out but still need help woth the remainder of this assignment part B and below needs to be answered. Paragraph Styles . . Electrochemical Cells Objective: Investigate electrochemical potential using electrochemical cells. Information: Electric current is the flow of negatively charged particles. An electrochemical cell is a device that creates an electric current by converting chemical energy into electric current, or vice versa. Voltaic cells are electrochemical cells that produce current spontaneously by converting chemical energy...
