To write the redox couples involved in the reactions (i) to (iv), we need to identify the species that are oxidized and reduced in each reaction. A redox couple consists of the oxidized form and the reduced form of a substance, typically written in the format: oxidized species / reduced species. ### Step-by-Step Solution **(i)** Reaction: `Cu + Zn^(2+) → Cu^(2+) + Zn` 1. **Identify Oxidation and Reduction:** - Copper (Cu) is oxidized as it goes from 0 to +2 (Cu → Cu²⁺). ...
