To represent the galvanic cell for the reaction \( \text{Zn}_{(s)} + \text{Cu}^{2+}_{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}_{(aq)} + \text{Cu}_{(s)} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Oxidation and Reduction Half-Reactions - **Oxidation Half-Reaction**: Zinc (Zn) is oxidized to zinc ions (\( \text{Zn}^{2+} \)): \[ \text{Zn}_{(s)} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^- \] - **Reduction Half-Reaction**: Copper ions (\( \text{Cu}^{2+} \)) are reduced to copper (Cu): ...
