A galvanic cell is constructed of two half cells Zn2+*(aq)/Zn(s) and H2(g)/H*(aq) separated by a salt bridge. When [Zn²*] = 1.0 M and P(H2) = 1.0 atm, the emf of this cell is found to be E = 0.685 V at %3D %3D 25 °C. Use standard electrode potential p. 901 Tro textbook 4th Ed. a) Write a balanced redox reaction that occurs in the galvanic cell. b) Indicate the half reaction that happens in each half cell. c) Indicate the anode AND the cathode
