Interpretation:
With the help of given graph, which one oxidized is to identified and which one is cathode is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A
Answer to Problem 36A
Zinc is oxidized because, there is loss of electrons occurs which is known as oxidation process. Reduction is occurs at the cathode and in the given figure reduction is occurs at copper electrode which is cathode.
Explanation of Solution
A electrochemical cell is represented by writing the anode where oxidation occurs on the left hand side and cathode where reduction occurs on the right hand side.
The given cell representation is
The oxidation half reaction
The reduction half reaction
Hence, zinc is oxidized because, there is loss of electrons occurs which is known as oxidation process. Reduction is occurs at the cathode and in the given figure reduction is occurs at copper electrode which is cathode.
