A voltaic cell was constructed using a zinc electrode (submerged in zinc sulfate), a copper electrode (submerged in copper(II) sulfate), and a salt bridge containing sodium sulfate. Given that zinc more easily forms cations than copper, which of the following statements is false concerning this voltaic cell? O Electrons flow from the zinc anode to the copper cathode. The sodium ion, from the salt bridge, will maintain charge balance as Cu-* is deposited as copper metal onto the copper electrode. O The mass of the cathode increases over time. The sulfate ion, from the salt bridge, will maintain charge balance as Cu-t is released into the copper(II) sulfate solution. 2+
