Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 26

Question: In the cell $ Zn|Z{n^{2+}}||C{u^{2+}}|Cu, $ the negative electrode is [MP PMT 1995]

Options:

A) $ Cu $

B) $ C{u^{2+}} $

C) $ Zn $

D) $ Z{n^{2+}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

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