Write the cell representation of the galvanic cell in which the following reaction take place
`" "Zn_((s))+CuSO_(4) rarr ZnSO_(4)+Cu_((s))`
For the above cell. Identify the anode and cathode half cell.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The galvanic cell is represented as
`" "Zn_((s))abs(Zn_((aq))^(2+))abs(Cu_((aq))^(2+))Cu_((s))`
The anode half cell is `Zn_((s))|Zn_((aq))^(2+)`
The cathode half cell is `Cu_((aq))^(2+)|Cu_((s))`
