Write the balanced reduction half-reaction.
    a.     Zn2+(aq)  +  2e-  -->  Zn(s)
    b.     Zn(s)  +  2e-  -->  Zn2+(aq)
   c.     Zn(s)  -->  Zn2+(aq)  +  2e-
  d.     Cu2+(aq)  +  2e- -->  Cu(s)

4.What is the correct cell notation for the reaction below?
            Cu2+(aq)  +  2Ag(s)  +  2Cl-(aq)  -->  Cu(s)  +  2AgCl(s)
    a.     Ag / AgCl // Cl- // Cu2+  Cu
    b.     Cu / Cu2+ // Cl- / Ag / AgCl
    c.     Cu / Cu2+ // Cl- / AgCl / Ag
