(a). Which is the anode?
(b). Which is the cathode?
(c). What happends at anode-reduction or oxidation?
(d). What happens at cathode-oxidation or reduction?
(e). Which electrode loses mass?
(f). Which electrode gais mass?
(g). white the electrode reaction.
(h). Write the cell reaction.
(i). Which metal has greater tendency to loss electron-Cu or Ag?
(J) Which is the more reactive metal Cu or Ag?
(k). What is the function of salt bridge represented by the symbol||?
