Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Components of a Galvanic Cell:** - A galvanic cell consists of two electrodes: the anode and the cathode. - The anode is where oxidation occurs, and the cathode is where reduction takes place. 2. **Identifying Oxidation and Reduction:** - Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons. Therefore, at the anode, electrons are released. ...
