Question

The standard reduction potential of zinc and copper electrodes are-0.76 V and +0.34 V respectively. Which electrode will undergo oxidation and which electrode reduction?

Answer 1

Ciao,
on zn electrode oxidation takes place and at cu reduction.
thi is because in electrochemical series the higher is the element acts as anode and oxidation take place at it. and zn is higher in electrochemical series then cu which is lower and acts as cathode.
hope it helps.stay blessed☺
