where is the mass of an electrode concentrated??
Answers
Explanation:
The voltaic cell (see Figure above ) consists of two separate compartments. A half-cell is one part of a voltaic cell in which either the oxidation or reduction half-reaction takes place. The left half-cell is a strip of zinc metal in a solution of zinc sulfate. The right half-cell is a strip of copper metal in a solution of copper(II) sulfate. The strips of metal are called electrodes. An electrode is a conductor in a circuit that is used to carry electrons to a nonmetallic part of the circuit. The nonmetallic part of the circuit is the electrolyte solutions in which the electrodes are placed. A metal wire connects the two electrodes. A switch opens or closes the circuit. A porous membrane is placed between the two half-cells to complete the circuit
