Question

I need help with 4 questions.
1. The diagram shows an electrochemical cell with copper (left) and zinc (right) strips.

Answer 1

In your response, do the following:
Label all parts (1–9), including the solutions in each beaker and the connecting tube.
Label which cell is the cathode and which cell is the anode. Include the charge on each strip. Show, or describe in detail, the flow of electrons.
Describe what type of electrochemical cell is pictured. Explain how the cell works. Include the oxidation and reduction half-reactions in your explanation.

Answer 2

1- cu
8- zn
flows from anode to cathode, zn->zn^2+ + 2e
cu^2+ +2e ->Cu
hard to explain everything, but that is the general idea of electrochem between cu and zn.
cu reduced, zn oxidized

Answer 3

Is an anode positive? Or is the cathode?

Answer 4

Answer 5

this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anode#Battery_or_galvanic_cell_anode
tells "In a battery or galvanic cell, the anode is the negative electrode from which electrons flow out towards the external part of the circuit. "

Answer 6

Oh goodness. Thank yhu. c:

Answer 7

the picture on wikipedia should help for several questions.

Answer 8

Yhur awesome! thank yhu! ^.^

Answer 9
