Question

In the given cell representation $Zn|Z{n}^{2+}||C{u}^{2+}|Cu,$ which is the negative electrode?

• A. $Z{n}^{2+}$
• B. $C{u}^{2+}$
• C. $Zn$
• D. $Cu$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

In the cell $Zn|Z{n}^{2+}||C{u}^{2+}|Cu$ the negative electrode (anode) is $\text{Zn}$ . In electrochemical cell representation anode is always written on left side while cathode on right side.
