Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Galvanic Cell**: A galvanic cell consists of two electrodes: an anode and a cathode. The anode is where oxidation occurs, and the cathode is where reduction takes place. 2. **Identifying the Electrodes**: In a typical galvanic cell, the anode is usually made of a metal that can lose electrons easily (like zinc), while the cathode is made of a metal that can gain electrons (like copper). 3. **Electron Flow Direction**: Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. This is because oxidation at the anode releases electrons, which then travel through the external circuit to the cathode. ...
