Question

reaction of anode region

Answer 1

The anode is the electrode where oxidation occurs and electrons are lost. ... The half-reaction on the anode, where oxidation occurs, is Zn(s) = Zn2+ (aq) + (2e-). The zinc loses two electrons to form Zn2+. The half-reaction on the cathode where reduction occurs is Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- = Cu(s).
