Consider the electrochemical cell represented below:
Zn(s) / Zn2+(aq) // Cu2+(aq) / Cu(s)
Which of the following equations describes the reaction occurring in the cell?
Zn(s) / Zn2+(aq) // Cu2+(aq) / Cu(s)
Which of the following equations describes the reaction occurring in the cell?
A.
Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s)
B.
Cu(s) + Zn(s) → Cu2+(aq) + Zn2+(aq)
C.
Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
D.
Zn2+(aq) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn(s) + Cu(s)
Answer: C
