Consider a galvanic cell constructed as Zn|Zn²⁺ (0.010 M) || Cu²⁺ (0.10 M) |Cu at 25 °C. Standard electrode potentials are \(E^{\circ}(\mathrm{Zn^{2+}/Zn}) = -0.76\,\text{V}\) and \(E^{\circ}(\mathrm{Cu^{2+}/Cu}) = +0.34\,\text{V}\).\n(a) Calculate the cell potential under the given conditions using the Nernst equation.\n(b) State which electrode functions as the anode and which as the cathode.

Answer Options

A. E_cell ≈ 0.96 V; anode = Zn electrode, cathode = Cu electrode
Correct Answer B. E_cell ≈ 1.13 V; anode = Zn electrode, cathode = Cu electrode
C. E_cell ≈ 1.13 V; anode = Cu electrode, cathode = Zn electrode
D. E_cell ≈ 0.85 V; anode = Zn electrode, cathode = Cu electrode
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
E_cell ≈ 1.13 V; anode = Zn electrode, cathode = Cu electrode
