Question
1) Which of the following statements is / are TRUE for the galvanic cell created from the copper cation (Cu2+) and elemental zinc (Zn)?
A. Zinc loses electrons and is therefore oxidized.
B. The electrons in this galvanic cell can be transferred through a wire, making it usable for different devices.
C. Zinc transfers two electrons to copper, forming the zinc cation (Zn2+).
D. Zinc pulls electrons stronger than the copper cation.
E. The copper cation accepts two electrons from zinc, forming the elemental copper.
F. The copper cation is the anode since it loses electrons.
G. The zinc metal is the anode since it loses electrons.
H. The process happens on its own since it is non-spontaneous.
I. The copper cation has a higher standard reduction potential as compared to the elemental zinc.
J. The copper cation loses electrons and is therefore oxidized.
