Question
A galvanic cell is set up by making 1 M solutions of FeSO4 and ZnSO4, with an iron (Fe) electrode in the FeSO4 solution and a zinc (Zn) electrode in the ZnSO4 solution. The half reactions that drive the galvanic cell are:
Fe2+ + 2e- → Fe (at the cathode)
Zn → Zn2+ + 2e- (at the anode)
What happens to the mass of the Fe electrode while the cell runs?
