AI Generated Solution

To solve the given problem step by step, we will address each part of the question systematically. ### Step 1: Depict the Galvanic Cell A galvanic cell consists of two half-cells: one for oxidation and one for reduction. 1. **Anode (Oxidation)**: This is where oxidation occurs. In our reaction, copper (Cu) is oxidized to copper ions (Cu²⁺). Therefore, the anode half-cell can be represented as: - **Anode**: Cu(s) | Cu²⁺(aq) ...
